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”

    ellipses

    I tend to use the ellipsis in the end to indicate one of:

    1. I am going to write more in the next message.
    • This tends to apply more during Internet Messaging chats.
    1. I will leave the rest for you to have fun extrapolating, considering that what comes next would be different depending upon the conditions.
    • e.g. I could continue with, “When I really want to watch something in the maximum possible size, I just turn it.” or something like that.
    • Simply put, stuff that is not useful enough to be wasting time for you, reading, as your brain can quickly extrapolate it without converting it into languaged though.
      • Why? I read something somewhere, which, to me meant: Write less, mean more; Read less, understand more. One of the reasons we have abbreviations. Because writing and reading takes longer than thinking upon something that has already entered your brain.
