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"

It's a water heater, not a hot water heater, why would anyone want to heat water that's already hot?

Well technically the tanks do heat the water that is already hot, to maintain the temp.

But I do get your point; I myself say that sometimes by accident.

That's a great point. Water heaters heat hot water much more often than cold water. Maintaining the already elevated temperature.

I assume this is the result of "water heater" and "hot water tank" being merged together.

It heats water to hot! Instead of heating water from cold to lukewarm! /s
