    ... what would it be? I'm struggling, between "opinionated" and "challenging". And, BTW, the 'rules', (that I'm just making up, right now!), state that you can't have catch-all, generic words. Otherwise, I could have just gone with "annoying". Note. I'm not planning on dying any time soon - but I know, from bitter experience, that you never can predict what life will throw at you. Every morning, when I wake up, I say to myself: "result". :)

      Could you do us the favour of explaining why "annoying" is "generic", but "challenging" isn't? Struggling with the rules here but regardless, I do like "Finally" as proposed elsewhere. Accessible both to developers and the general public.

                Yeah, it's a bit of a grey area, admittedly - but I'll give it a go: - Someone can be "annoying" for any number of reasons - including being "opinionated" or "challenging". - [I think], "challenging" describes a more specific type of characteristic - maybe! To be honest, the fact that I consider the word "challenging" as an option for my gravestone, probably gives you the only clue you need to my approach to rules. Particularly when they've been made up, on the spot, by some lunatic posting random stuff on The Lounge! ;)
