Writers discuss particular word choices and what they imply. "It turns out" as a disarming assertion (by an author in the US). Asking for someone's pronouns, in particular in questions coming from monolingual English speakers (by an author in the UK). "Why I no longer say 'conservative' when I mean 'cautious'" (by an author in Brazil). White-collar US workplace norms that allow "I'm concerned" but not "I'm angry" and "misrepresenting" but not "lying".
