Being Precious About Words
The very first story I ever had published, when I picked up the physical anthology & flipped through, I noticed one of my characters “tipped his hat.”

Seven-year-old: “Meow!”
Thirteen: “Oh, you don’t want cake…”
Seven, exasperated: “Do you not understand cat-language?!?”
