This piece lacks a good definition of "junk info". The closest is this:

>"Common types of junk info include gossip, trivia, clickbait, hackery, marketing, churnalism, and babble. But in fact, any information that you can't use is junk info. A typical example on social media would be a photo of a freshly cooked burger, captioned with “Look what I just made!” but posted without a recipe so you can't even recreate it"

There's huge gap between "info that you can use" and the examples given of "junk info". I enjoy reading Wikipedia entries on scientific topics, but I can rarely "use" that info in any practical sense

So why are only 2/3 of the formulas named the same? Excel's new REGEXTEST [1] is REGEXMATCH in Sheets [2]

I've been using Sheets's regex functions for over a year, they're really helpful for basic data transformation.

Excel also got a "split" function much later than Sheets did.

I was excited to read on the Sheets blog that Sheets finally will have a table functionality, which Excel has always had: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2024/05/tables-in-go...

This is a common misunderstanding, one which I was fairly confused by until recently. "Fertility differs from fecundity, which is defined as the biological capacity to reproduce irrespective of intention for conception [...] In demographic contexts, fertility refers to the actual production of offspring, rather than the physical capability to produce which is termed fecundity. While fertility can be measured, fecundity cannot be" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility
