    Hello everyone did you need someone in here being a complete pedant? Here I am!

    I would spell this slopperator, not sloperator. Putting only one consonant between O and E makes this read “SLOPE-r-ator”, like the slope of a hill. Also, there’s precedent, if you have a lot of slop, maybe you’re sloppy (two p’s).

    Sloperator sounds like someone who really likes linear regression.

      Hello, how mad do you get over the suffix “-copter”?

      As “helicopter” is made of “helico” (~helix, twisty) + “pter” (wing).

      “Hello everyone did you need someone in here being a complete pedant? Here I am!”

      This kind of pedantry is 100% not needed.

      However, it absolutely is wanted. You’re wonderful, keep being you.

      You’re getting caught up on slope being a different word. If you think of it as slow-per-ator it still works towards the intent.

      I love you and respect you, but I still like ‘sloperator’ better.

      The double p just looks too pretentious.

      I think the slope rator misreading is an acceptable price to pay.

        It had a point and it made that point in one small paragraph with a little personality and no emojis or em-dashes.
