Invaluable means very valuable 😭😭

I asked my wife if we could have a three way mirror but now I sleep in the guest room.
Does your guest room have 2 mirrors then?
Just one, on the ceiling.
My wife doesn’t like the swing I installed either.
Who is out here calling these “two way mirrors” and why?
Because you can look at it two ways and see in the same direction
You can look at them from every direction, doesn’t make them every direction-mirror.
Maybe because it can be a mirror in either direction depending on which side is lit/dark?
Corridor Digital mentioned them recently in one of their videos and had a 5-minute conversion on what the correct term was before finding that Wikipedia page.
I guess you can look at it from two sides (in two ways?)
I guess you can look at it from two sides (in two ways?)
Interestingly, this also applies to many other things, such as so called “two way walls”.
It’s a terrible name. Two-way because you get the normal mirror reflection and a see-through. Should’ve just called it a see-through mirror, it would immediately make sense.
