Maybe this is one of those autism things again but I'm really annoyed by this headline format and I wish articles would stop using it.

I don't have a boss, nor an office job. Stop assuming that everyone does.

Seems like the title is immediately gaining the attention of its target audience. It doesn't apply to you, so you can just move on.

so you can just move on

Oh, you're highly underestimating my capability to get stuck in the little things

People tend to highly underestimate the people they do not know, over estimate how unique their personal experience is, and demand external variables be tailored to their personal tastes.

No boss or office job? I'm totally reporting you to HR for that. 😆

I hate how English overuses personal pronouns.

"Know your ABCs?"

Nyet. I refuse to take ownership of the modern Latin alphabet, which is used by billions of English speakers worldwide and with minor variations by over a hundred more languages. An ordering of its letters is a common good by and for the public domain. Its entire point is being standard so it would lose all value if there was "ABCs" of mine, yours or any other single person rather than "the ABCs".
