Still on the first read-through, but I've found half-a-dozen typo type problems. Do you want them in advance, or wait for completion / second read through?

Whenever you're in the mood.
It'll make the final line-edit* a lot less stressful, knowing that someone else has found at least most of the mini-errors that evade my gaze when I'm simply editing/rewriting.
* Imagine that you have to manually check 10,000 lines of code for typos/capitalisation errors, etc, and the only automation you have to help you is an unreliable PoC that's wrong more times than it's right.
That's what the final line-edit will be.

Oh, and don't forget likes and dislikes.
I won't change a damned thing because of anyone's likes/dislikes (do I Look Like a moron from hollywood?), but it's still interesting to see.

I just had an inspirational moment. A borderline Eureka moment.
Admittedly (and fortunately) this is not experiential but theoretical. I strenuously urge,* however, the warning should be heeded most scrupulously.
Folding Toilet Tissue.
Depending upon your habits, you’ll pull off some number of sheets. Usually 6, but perhaps more with Scotties single ply (1000/roll) and considerably more with the likes of Marcal or store-brand single-plys. So far – so good.
Naturally, no one uses these without first folding into a conveniently sized tuft for application (i.e., residual buffing). This is usually repeated several times per session until the folded appliance appears (reasonably) free of streakage. But there is a hidden danger lying within this ritual!
If you do not give due notice to the manner in which you fold your tufts, it is possible that the perforations might align (this only need be close, not exact!). Should this rather unfortuitous situation occur, the application of pressure by you index finger over what will amount to an unsupported region (due to the underlying orifice structure) could easily result in breakthrough. Indeed, if you behaving a bit aggressively at the time, it may even result in an anal-poke and heart-wrenching sense of dismay.
The primary focus of this article is, of course, to warn you of the possibility that you may guard against it. One convenient mechanism is to count the sheets. If it is an even number, fold serially into thirds; if it’s an odd number, do likewise, but by halves. This will guarantee adequate phase-shift of perforations so as to allow a relaxed and confident application regimen capable of withstand utilization port-stern, stern-to-port, and novel circular patterns.
Good Luck and Safe Wiping!
* Carefully chosen expression if ever there was one!

That stinks. What a sticky situation.
Have you sunk so low as to post this? Have I sunk so low as to respond? 
P.S. Only use two ply.

If only it were that simple - but there's still the danger of perforation mode synchronization (PMS) - and the consequences thereof.
Also - enjoy sinking to the bottom. Once there, things can only get better.

I'm using the 4-sheets-3-fold technique - works great (we have no single ply toilet tissue, or I do not know it... mine has 3)

I've never used a corn cob.
Tell me. In your experience, do cobs work best with a lateral swipe or an end-on thrust?
And what of the mini-corn favored in many Asian cuisines?<br?

each paper has 4 layers (the one i buy) if i fold 3 pieces to one i have 12 layers protecting my finger from *shoop da whoop* so i guess im safe (if i fold 6 to 2 its 12 layers, folding again 24!)

Alas Alas Alas Alas.
The lesson was not the count-of-layers but the phase of perforations. Unless your paper has no perforations to aid in dispensing you will still fall into the same danger.
Actually, more easily, as since you need fewer folds it's less likely that a sheet-middle will protect you from a tear-point.

Well but i guess the one who fails to fold according to perforations deserves to get his hand dirty

Fold it into a Mobius strip

Indeed, I appreciate your contribution to this thread.
It helps with an environmental project of mine which I will doubtless shortly patent.
Instead of paper wipes, which consume trees and then end up as murky waste requiring various treatment methodologies, I had the following preposition:
We replace the paper with gently textured thin plastic sheeting. Following utilization, the sheet is hung on the wall. It is then squeegeed clean (clips and squeegee are supplied) and is ready for reuse.
A Mobius strip is an excellent enhancement to this design!

Agreed, although the result is too wide. The obvious solution is to cut or tear it down the middle, giving two mobius strips that are about the right size.

Is this a problem that occurs often in your house?
In almost 50 years, I cannot recall one time that this has happened to me. I would say that this is a non-problem.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

'Tis not a problem the occurs often. It was an observational warning based upon conjecture and copious anecdotal evidence.
This leads to the question, of course, in that you cannot recall this happening to you during the last fifty years. The explanation, of course, is obvious. You've simply gone into shock at time and mercifully your mind has blocked your memories.
Either that, or 50 years of constipation?

 That, fortunately, is one problem I do not suffer from.
As for memory problems, never! I have a memory like a whatchamacallem - one of those big grey things with trunks?
