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"

There literally-literally is.

And to over-egg that particular pudding point, word doubling might be a common thing in "simpler" languages and, ahem, pooh-poohed in "complex" ones, but that second "literally" restores the original meaning.

For now.

Until some bright spark starts using "literally literally" to mean "figuratively" anyway.
