I know it's his name, but the OCD within makes me want to sed 's/Ive/I\'ve/g'

The OCD example triggered my OCD as he used the initialism to construct each letter instead of the respective letter which caused incomplete initialisms everywhere. UGH ...

I think he misspelled MAXIMUM OCD

This points to a deep rooted problem. Probably OCD.

(Ha, you expected me to write about a problem in how people use language, got ya :-)

I don't think I have ocd but this is something that I do without thought. Usually, I'll catch myself after a minute or two. But if a paragraph is almost there, it becomes difficult to work with that paragraph on-screen until I scratch the itch.

I know I have some OCD. But this... just a bit much.

That's an obvious sign of OCD.

That 1 is triggering my OCD.

I dislike ever seeing this. Sounds too OCD

You sound OCD to me.

I’m not obsessed, far from it, but I’m seriously concerned about the merit/performance/excellence aspects.

I can understand, that someone like him could easily obsess over these things, and he’s not alone from what I see.

Scott has OCD. Search for "obsessive compulsive disorder" here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/11/going-loopy/

So the OCD is even worse than I feared. He is against other people even _thinking_ that a third set of people might be saying "murder of crows". That's pretty meta.

Looks like OCD to me. shrug

Looks like someone is a bit touchy about their OCD.

Yes: OCD.
