I like how this post has an aside at the beginning that states that "some people don't use duvets at all", and then doesn't actually bother defining what the heck a duvet is for those of us who are from places too warm to ever need one. Apparently they are big stuffed blankets that have covers that are a pain in the ass to change? I dunno, I'm from New Orleans, where summer nights get so warm that even a thin top sheet can be too much and I just sprawl naked on the bottom sheet. Usually after a cold shower. So maybe bed linen can teach us something about making assumptions about culture, too. I do agree that the lack of any consistent, unambiguous signage as to whether you are holding the long or short end of a fitted sheet is super annoying, especially if your bed is a nearly-square size like the queen mattress I share with my husband.
