Hey @gproenca, thanks for the follow request! Unfortunately there's not enough vibe on your profile to check, so...

You must choose one highly-specific, and utterly trivial hill you're totally willing to die on. What is it?

(if you already have one, you may share it instead of choosing a new one)

For me, it's use of the term "guys" for groups that aren't all guys. I've found myself more and more annoyed the more I talk about it. Now, I'm like at the point that I'm railing against the default-masculinity of language to random strangers at the grocery store! Also, it's not trivial! Language is important—it shapes our perceptions! How many guys have you slept with, huh? Huh??

@alice In cricket, when a batter is out for 0, some commentators use the phrase "didn't trouble the scorers" to describe the innings.

That really grates. The scorer will already have written the player's name in the scorebook and details of the balls faced. Once you are named in the playing XI, you do in fact trouble the scorers.

And it also makes the scorers sound well grumpy. Which they aren't, in my experience. Most scorers enjoy their job and are very good at it.

If you don't have a scorer then you don't have a game of cricket.
