Helps get searches directed to the right place, I imagine.
Being technically correct is awesome, but if it costs you business because people search for “clips” and your page only says “magazines”, that’s a loss for everyone involved…
I think Sigivald nailed it. Internet search results. I use page titles and alt text for crap like that, and try to keep the actual page text and product names clean.
I’ve said it before; if you’re going to call a magazine a clip, then what do you call a clip? “Hey, Man; toss me a….clip, thingy…that’s not a clip….I guess….or something…. You know…one of those dealy bobs. Quick!”
A “magazine clip” would, technically, be something that holds two or more magazines together, or one or more magazines onto something. The Styer Scout rifle comes with what could be called a “magazine clip” in the buttstock, for example.

Actually, steer clear of 4chan altogether. Its the internet version of the UN, but without the guise of diplomacy.

No wonder they can’t do anything right anymore. They don’t even know what they’re talking about!
