Topics that are really divisive yet ultimately unimportant

A place to discuss, well, topics that are really divisive yet ultimately unimportant in one convenient location!

Perhaps some to start off with:
>Is coriander the worst spice in the world?
>What way does the toilet paper roll face?
>What are your thoughts on the word 'moist'?

And where does one place the stress in the word "oregano?"

Is it: or-eg-arn-o

or

Is it: or-eg-enn-o

And to answer:

I love the word moist. At the moment I don't even have a toilet roll holder because of renovations, so any place that isn't on the moist floor is good (our new shower doesn't have a door...so always a moist floor). And coriander is fine, why the cult hate????

I didn't even realise there was another way. Second one, most definitely


There's also how to pronounce egg, which is really difficult to type on a keyboard.
Is it 'ehg' or more like a soft 'ayg'?

Edit: Coriander tastes like boring soap

I hate the word moist (but I still use it?). My bio class discovered this last year and used it against me.

And now in physio: "moist productive cough" - GROSS.

Didn't realise you could pronounce it a second way :-[ The first one!

Is there a spice that tastes like interesting soap?

I don't have any problems with 'moist', but I get lowkey (like, Arthur fist clench meme lowkey) mad if the toilet paper roll isn't hanging off the front

I had to say the word aloud a few times, but I think that I pronounce it the first way. :)

Coriander isn't that bad.
Toilet paper rolls definitely face over, I don't think I've ever had it any other way,
I don't really like the word moist.

I don't really know how to type what I am pronouncing-but I think it's the first one.

You can buy rosemary-infused soap, so technically rosemary ;)
