I usually find these “lists of jargon + replacements” quite bad (i.e. include many things where the distinction between the term used and the suggested replacement is important and useful, and/or seem to misunderstand the terms they’re suggesting replacements for, and/or include many things that virtually nobody says except maybe as a joke).
But I think this one is pretty good and mostly agree with it.
My only disagreement is with the order of magnitude thing. I love orders of magnitude talk. I think it’s really useful to think in orders of magnitude about many (most?) things. If this means I sometimes say “one order of magnitude” when I could just say “ten times” so be it.
