I think that's only worth doing for extreme grammar pedantry.

Groundhog
Toast related - though probably obvious to most people: Any time I have toast using regular bread baked in a tin, it is a bit rectangular with a definite top, bottom and sides. I put the bread in the toaster topside up (you would though) and have always been a bit disappointed that the top inch is not as well toasted as the rest. Yesterday I put the bread in sideways and it fitted perfectly in the toaster and resulted in perfect toast, evenly golden across the whole slice. Some eureka moments may not be groundbreaking in a global sense, but it was genuinely pleasing to me - my toast preparation is much more efficient. Now if only I could find a cheap 3 slice toaster, so I could do either 1, 2 or 3 slices of bread at once and not use twice the power necessary when I want just one slice. |

I regularly put mine in sideways but sometimes they need a bit of encouragement to go down. Then they can sometimes stick when the toaster attempts to pop up. One day I will get distracted and come back to charcoal toast or a burning kitchen!
