The world is more straightforward than you think. (Unless you're one of THOSE people, of course, in which case it is more complicated.)

something that bugs me more than it should
If there is an article about the triathlon, which there usually is as far as I can tell, then 90% of the time that article will claim that triathlon is the fastest growing sport in the world. This has been the case for three years to my certain knowledge and I am pretty sure for five years. Quite apart from the fact that it is an absurd claim full stop, it's never fixed to any external standard. It is a very minor rhetorical datum of the swan-and-broken-arm variety. This does not make it evil. But it drives me crazy.
