but the notation is incorrect, because each part of the equality has a different value. If interpreted strictly as it says, it would imply that 3 = 6 = 10 = 15 = 15. A correct version of the argument would be 1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 3 = 6, 6 + 4 = 10, 10 + 5 = 15. This difficulty results from subtly different uses of the sign in education.
In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f ( x ) = x is true for all values of x to which f can be applied.
In linguistics, sloppy identity is an interpretive property that is found with verb phrase ellipsis where the identity of the pronoun in an elided VP (verb phrase) is not identical to the antecedent VP. For example, English allows VPs to be elided, as in example (1). The elided VP can be interpreted in at least two ways, as follows:

Incorrect: Did Darla say, "Here I am?" (incorrect to apply the question mark to the quotation) Correct: Darla said, "Where am I?" (question mark applies to quoted material only) If the quotation is a single word or a sentence fragment, place the terminal punctuation outside the closing quotation mark.
Do not use strikethrough to indicate inappropriate or incorrect material; this causes accessibility and comprehensibility problems, and there are several better alternatives, including commenting out, deletion, and tagging for discussion. Intentional use of strikethrough as part of the content is discouraged for similar reasons.
Constituents are successively broken down into their parts as one moves down a list of phrase structure rules for a given sentence. This top-down view of sentence structure stands in contrast to much work done in modern theoretical syntax. In Minimalism [3] for instance, sentence structure is generated from the bottom up.
