Is a Tear that is straigh OBious
The reason is wear and tear. The truth is not all of them are round. The majority of them are but there are many of different shapes.
Due to the way paper is made, its fibers tend to run in one direction. If you tear in that direction, along the fibers, the paper tears easily, and the fibers guide the tear to be straight across. If you tear the paper across the fibers, all of the above is untrue.
One assumes you mean "wear and tear", which is the ageing of clothes, especially, through wearing, washing etc. The term has spread to many other items, such as cars. The term "fair wear and tear" means reasonable damage coming with age and use of an item, such as a hire car can have slight scratches and scrapes around the boot from luggage, but a large dent in the door is not "fair wear and tear".
