Why do careless, carefree, and uncaring not mean the same thing?
Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
If an orange tree was to be grown on an aircraft carrier, would it produce naval oranges?
Why is it people are overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but never just whelmed? So why does the spell checker flag underwhelmed but not the other two?
Why do the terms "Wise Man" and "Wise Guy" hold such different meaning?

Actually, is probably more accurate in that regard.
I'm pretty sure there are minute specifications where and how these items are to be placed.
Just as there are, what?; a dozen rules for how much space to be left next to a door depending on which hand it is and where an adjacent wall is and what side you are entering it from depending on the handing.
Dean you know about those rules.

"... a dozen rules..."
All of which apply, but are seldom used when it comes to residential construction, or so has been my observation. *sigh*
Actually the IRC does not include that section of code from the IBC in terms of ingress/egress.
Nor could it in any meaningful way.

This I read on a candy bar wrapper recently (bear in mind it was a Snickers or some such obviously peanut-containing product) -- "Warning: this product was made on equipment that may have been used to process peanuts..."
Sorry to say this. But why do you Americans need to put obvious notes on EVERYTHING?
I'm not going to mention the word thick (oops), but it seems like that a lot of the time 😄

One word: Lawyers
Okay that was too simple: The PEOPLE that allow lawyers to sue companies on their behalf so that the plaintiff can get $25 for their time and the law firm can make $20 million in the settlement.
Blitz gas cans had to shut down because they could not afford to compensate everyone who lit the nozzle of the can on fire and proceeded to use it like a flame thrower and then sued the company because they were burned.
