I did noticeably wear out the starting corner on one of my rulers. So now when using the rotary cutter I don't begin at the end of the ruler (and slice off the corner). Instead I begin ahead of the corner a bit, roll backwards just to the end of the ruler, then forward with the cut.
This is how I was taught to cut too in my first quilting class at Paducah quilt show. It's automatic to me now.
