For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

The answer is unequivocally "NO".

A sound is not a sound until it vibrates the listeners eardrums. Before that it's just a pressure wave. Ergo, if no eardrums are around, there is no sound...

Having general AI on games makes me skip them, I'll be skipping Mecha Break after I saw that NPC that you can literally talk to, just a giant waste of time and a reason to not pay voice actors, I really don't want to go back to the time where you had to type what you wanted to do in an interpreter in King's Field.

Abolishing the word "automobile" since it mixes Greek and latin.

Oh god, you'd have to abolish sooo many words if you went that way.

Stoplights at a junction should be done in phases and not in straight on green and turn on green only if it's clear.

If you have a 4 way junction then each way should green for you to go straight or turn off for a period of time.
