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”

    I believe Tom Scott had a video on gif vs jif with good arguments for both. His argument boiled down to what association a person makes when first introduced to the word.
    Examples included words like gift (where you say g) and gin (where you say j).

    I don’t think there is a correct answer, only an answer. Depending on criteria chosen I can make an argument for either pronunciation.
