That would be the Excel devs working at Microsoft. They read HN. I can feel it.

Excel devs, do you hear me? Repent for your sins! Go back to Microsoft and fix those problems. The cost of Excel mishandling numbers and dates must be many orders of magnitude higher than your lifetime salary.

Thank you.

They can't. All those spreadsheets that depend on that behavior are out there. It makes spell create with an e look easy.
