It could be your use of the word 'trivia.' At least in the US, it sometimes carries a negative connotation. It might read to some like you are being sarcastic.


ohh... sorry, English is not my native language that's why I didn't knew this. I wasn't being sarcastic, I actually liked the comment.

Thanks for the explanation astine :)


Also, trivia is a mass noun. "Lots of trivia like this", not "lots of trivias like this".

"Details" or "specifics" sounds less ... trivial. "Nitty gritty details" ("let's get down to the nitty gritty") is also OK.


Would one of a body of trivia be a "trivium?"
