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!

An entire fandom has been pronouncing "Evangelion" wrong for the past quarter-century.
It's supposed to be pronounced with a hard G, like hair gel.
A hard g? Like in giraffe?
That's a sensitive topic
I fell for it and was momentarily outraged. Goke's on me.
I'm not really into it, but it seems I've been saying it right the whole time, nice lol.
So Ee-van-guh-lion, yes?
Dota players will pronounce "Abaddon" (a hero's name) like "ah-buh-don" and it's really bizarre. In their defense though, many aren't native English speakers
/eu̯.aŋ.ɡé.li.on/
Roughly pronounced ayoo-ahn-gay-lee-on

新世紀エヴァンゲリオン
/ɕiɲseiki ebangeɾioɴ/
Roughly pronounced Ay-bahn-gay-lee-on
And that's really what matters: how the guy who named it pronounces the name.
