Well you can of course do that. Then if it discovered that you’ve lied on an entry form, you’ll be denied entry forever.

Nor do you get TV tuners. While most geeks probably couldn’t care less, any associated family do prefer to watch Great British Bake-off as it airs.

Snide comment that achieves very little. Word has done the dash —> em dash transformation since the late 90s.

Many writing tools automatically transform dash to em dash when used as an em dash.

I use em dashes all the time and I’m a real person, at least last time I checked.

You understood “remember the human” wrong.

Point taken. Thank you for the reminder. I was probably being harsh. Appreciate the feedback.

Man, I luckily upgraded to 64GB (when MSFS 2024 said “that’s preferred”) before all this.

In a personal context, agreed. In a business context, I completely disagree. Analysts, finance, operations etc all have much more complex requirements.

Google Sheets is competing with Excel. Proton Sheets is competing with Google Sheets. So Proton Sheets is competing with Excel.

I used Word as a comparative example to say that parts of the office/docs suite are easy to compete with (there’s only so may things a word processor can do), while others (like Google Sheets or Excel, whichever order you prefer) is incredibly difficult to compete with; a formatting error on import of a Word doc is acceptable. An unsupported formula ruins the entire thing.

Agreed. The EU ain’t perfect, but I’d take it over any alternative.

Does if have FILTER, array formulas, spill zones, MAP, data tables, query engines, SQL engine etc etc?

To compete with Word: Easy. To compete with Excel: Very, very difficult (pretty much only Google Sheets have managed).
