I have literally never seen spreadsheet abbreviated as SS. Spreadsheet is one word. Your comment comes off as trying too hard to be negative. Try some actual constructive feedback why don't ya?

How should the spreadsheet be abbreviated ? 's' first letter

I don't abbreviate it that way either, but the author does on the page itself!
