Toilet roll facing the front, unless you have a pet who is liable to paw at it, then you are given permission to put it the wrong way.

Some places use commas for thousands separation and periods for the decimal point, others do it the other way round. we simply cannot let this stand simply because it's usually pretty obvious unless you go to exactly three decimal places like a weirdo. I propose two new symbols. let's say 1/234/567~89. Or maybe 1~234~567/89. Hmm. Tell you what we'll try it both ways in different countries for a 20-year trial period or so and then once we've decided which one is better we'll get everyone to switch to the clearly better one Also sometimes I forget which billion people mean, so we will use the convenient SI units as the new mnemonic. a million stays a million, a thousand million is now a gillion, a thousand is now a killion. This will have a pillion benefits in people's day to day lives

PT6A posted:Names are notoriously hard to standardize, there's barely any point in trying, because whatever assumptions you make will be incorrect in a non-trivial number of cases. See also the classic text on this, Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names (and a version with specific examples)
