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”
You can keep your prescriptive linguistic nazism. I’ll enjoy my descriptive freedom.
In all seriousness, prescriptive linguistics have a limit in a sense that language is formed by usage and that’s inherently a “descriptive” process.
It is possible to prescribe language when you’re in a majority of users, but after some critical mass of people there is nothing you can do. Even when they’re technically wrong.
