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??

@gproenca @alice Just gonna go ahead and volunteer mine

The printing press stole my favorite letter in the English alphabet: Þ. It represents the sound we now use the abominable "th" for. It's why all those signs say "ye olde", they were using a y to substitute for þe.

I want fewer nonsensical digraphs! Down with th, down with ch, give me unique letters for these clearly unique sounds!

While we are at it, x and q don't make unique sounds, so kill them. C only makes a unique sound when used with ch, so kill that and replace it with a letter for that sound.
