Poster #4,
How porcelain would fall off a floor is difficult to visualise?
The OP's Mapei powdered adhesive is a cementitious thin set adhesive - it will stick porcelain or ceramic just about anywhere.

The OP's post #1 says he is "laying floor tiles" - hence we are talking about floor tiles. Does your "friend" find his floor tiles fall off? Is the garbled gravity weirdness you babble about causing leaping floor tiles?

Poster #15,
You have just read "wall & floor tile qualifications" but you then claim you cannot understand my English?
Very weird. Hope you have at least one sparking neuron.
I know that you childishly thought you were having a go at America - stop & think that the very computer you are on, & the digitalised world we are all using is American as apple pie.
FWIW: my wall & floor tile qualification is a craft level City&Guilds.
Also, an Armstrong Flooring cert in fixing, and a course at DAL tile in Dallas Texas.

You recommended that the OP contact tech support, and then said, "However, if your porcelain is not see-thro then, for a toilet floor, why not just go ahead and use it?"
The inference being that you seem to think that the colour of the adhesive is the "no-no". Porcelain tiles do not care about the colour of the adhesive- natural stone tiles do though. Why don't you know that? After all, as you said, you are a qualified tiler.
I have only tiled about 30 bathrooms/kitchens. I don't recall encountering "see-thro" porcelain tiles, do you have any examples?

Poster #14. The internet is an American invention. The web was invented by Sir Tim Berners Lee whilst he worked for CERN (a European collaboration). Not sure what your point is though.
Oh.. and apple pies (as we know them are British, not American- influenced by other european states).
