It must have to do with the type of "person" who'll use a Mac to begin with, but

Coding?
If one sets their editor to 'convert tabs to spaces' than all things are good: what you do and what everyone and anyone can see.

But - what can one expect from these millennial who equate cost with quality and are ditzy enough to spend US$1K on a telephone every year?

Sadly no, because it merely raises the question of how many spaces? Laugh | :laugh:

Thou shalt count to four, no more, no less. Four shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be four. Five shalt thou not count, nor either count thou three, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Six is right out! Once the number four, being the fourth number, be reached, then shalt proceed to typeth.

Apologies to MP.

The _number_ of SPACE characters is not important, the actual on-screen width of the indent created is. I.e. the smaller the font, the more of them you need.

Even in a fixed-width font, which is what most everyone uses? In a small font of that type, I'm fine with less absolute indentation, because it's more or less relative.

But what I was really getting at is that if tabs are converted to spaces, people who use tabs won't be happy afterwards. Which, of course, is how it should be. Smile | :)

Yes, well they who use TABs should be forced to use Notepad.

Be nice. They're the ones who'll be paying your pension.

It's cr@p like that that made me stop watching the show, in very short order (I didn't last as far as the end of the first episode).

Y'know, it's only a little bit harder to write stuff that's funny AND intelligent AND credible AND well scripted, rather than stuff that's not-very-funny AND stupid AND wouldn't happen in a million years AND is facile.

Try Inside No. 9[^], if you don't know what I mean.

It fits CROWN and Edible - but the "K" for stress I don't understand...

Peas - despite being not made of BACON - are allegedly edible.

In fact they can act as a significant part of your "five a day" requirement: a single serving of will cover you fully for many weeks if you eat each pea.
