Fantastic pedantry. Too bad the entire thing is a massive example of paperclipping.

scrapbooking?

Paper clipping is when someone says something that sounds very profound but really carries little to no actual meaning. Here Ono-Sendai uses his lexicon to make what he says seem important but most of what he says is just him trying to figure out what to say to make his pedantry more obvious. His entire first paragraph essentially says "there's no point in correcting people on the internet. I find it useful to imagine a boundary of where people get annoyed that can be found by considering some examples of bad grammar and how close to this a message must be to be considered unacceptable. Sometimes correcting people makes other people mad."

It's essentially irrelevant to the conversation being had, he just posits a theory about how to detect when someone would feel a message is unacceptable.

It's a fairly common term but esoteric enough that you probably haven't heard it while casually talking with people in Australia. Pass it on.

if people casually talk about paperclipping in conversation their either poet laureates or more loving likely #euphoric

i've never heard it in any setting of conversation, internet, casual, business etc

besides i think it's a stuffty term, not passing it on

You don't "do" a noun is my point. To do is to perform an action, video is not an action. In this case the proper verb would be either "made" or "recorded." Not "do."

technically you can.

Holy forget guys, can we please get back on topic?

You've either made a grandiose error in your math or you've misinterpreted how differential equations are used. Here you are arguing that the two equations (y=(dx/dy)+a) and (y=a) are equal. Calculus is math and math is logic, and logic directly opposes that those two equations are equal. The only scenario in which these two equations would be equal is where x and y would hold the same value, and at that rate of change in satisfaction you'd be unlikely to care what anyone else says because you probably just snorted an 8 ball of coke.
