First, totally agree that it's an overhyped thing that most people would never notice the difference and marketing people use to push their products. That being said, this would fall under terroir[^]. Normally used when referring to wine, but I think it can apply in this case too. Someone with a trained palette can probably identify different salts and regions vs the average person who wouldn't and just may like one more than the other.

The only advantage I see with sea salt is that the salt grains are larger than the regular Morton salt grains. It's easier for me to see (old eyes), so it's less likely for me to over salt whatever it is I'm adding salt too. Personally, I don't buy it but the wifey buys into all the hype on salt, vitamins, etc.

"Worth it" is pretty debatable but I think it is at least detectable if you mix several different kinds vs using just one for some things like roasting vegetables in oil under a broiler.

In my experience the only thing that really distinguishes different salts is the additives:
* Iodine
* Anti-caking agents
Iodine is frequently added to salt to help with a common deficiency. Anti-caking agents help prevent the salt from clumping. There are usually fewer anti-caking agents added to salt with larger granules. This site seems to have some useful information:

In Short - Salt is salt.

Thanks to the person who moved the menu back on the left hand side. It no longer feels squeezed here.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Funny how it disappears again if you make your browser window too small.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I know this is a rubbish clue. I was bogged down with meetings at work. Sorry.

How so? You guessed the same thing, and I don't know who actually posted first, because I edited mine and then noticed yours posted at the same time. Spelled would also work, and maybe it's the right answer, even though it wouldn't really be a proper CCC.

Spelled is the answer. In old British English, spelt can be found everywhere but when Americans adopted the language, they settled for spelled. I know this is a rubbish clue but you are up for tomorrow.

Well, I crossed that answer out and went with spittle, which is almost always spit in West Pond! So I think you should be up again tomorrow, but I'll take it if you don't want to do another one.

No I don't think I have time tomorrow morning either. I think you can take it.

This really surprised me. I have always used "spelled" and assumed that was the British way and that "spelt" was the US version.
How do other Brits on here spell it?

Spittle ? ( hoping I'm wrong )

It decided to set my calendar default view on "monthly", which is a view that I do not even understand the usage, until you have a 60" monitor, or love mosaics.
So every time I click on my calendar, I have to click on "Day" to change back to the daily view, in order to see, well, my meetings of the day.
And, guess what, there is no way to change this behaviour easily - at least not at work, company policies etc... because of course my company knows better than I how I need to setup my tools.
Just needed to vent, but damn, I am getting old, I have no patience any more for this kind of f***ery.

My Outlook keeps resizing the pane that shows email accounts and folders, so that I have to keep making it wider to get the width that I want.
And Excel recently started minimizing to a thin bar instead of the narrower, but still screen height, window that I sometimes use to look at something else at the same time. I then have to drag the bottom of that minimized bar to the bottom of the screen to get the window that I want.

"That is a better pane size, believe me" - Outlook, every day.
On the same vein as your Excel thing, I have one contact in my Android phone that shows a special behaviour when I get an SMS from them : instead of showing it in the message app, it creates a floating icon that I have to dismiss every time. No reason for it, no setting that can be changed to stop it, happens only with that specific contact out of a couple hundreds.
