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”

      yeah, but its an ambiguity that can be picked at in legal settings. He/she makes it very clear that only singular person is being referred to

        I guess I found my hill:

        If you are worried about your sentence leaving ambiguity for your pronouns, then write a better sentence.

        Alright, that’s fair, they did specifically say legalese.
