comment Usage of たくさん vs. 多い
I don't think that's wrong. You can say たくさん悩みがある too. He seemed to be saying you can only use 多い (not たくさん) when measuring specific things. For example 50円多いですよ (It's 50 yen too much, you're 50 yen over). 50円たくさんですよ doesn't make sense, and 50円はたくさんですよ changes the meaning to something like "50 yen is enough/too much".

comment Rules for slang of Japanese numbers
Used a lot in phone numbers too. Sometimes you're allowed to choose the last 4 digits of a new number, but 8686 (はろはろ) is always gone.

comment 遅刻 / 遅い when we wanna say “Hey hurry up! you'll be late!” which would be more appropriate?
I thought 遅刻する was intentional at first, but then I changed my mind. Now I'm wondering which is right.

Is できなつた the same as できるようになった? I wonder if they were supposed to change those bit つs, why are they still using them in current laws?

So before the Heisei, they used a big つ in written laws, then they switched to the same use of っ as everyone else?
