I worked with a (home-rolled at the company, but long before my time with no compilation documentation) comms library that had functions named "receive" and functions named "recieve".
Even better, the library was called into as a COM object by a Visual Basic Script script, and the misspelled corner case only got hit rarely. Figuring out that the problem was the correctly spelled function call was a joy.
- chopin 5y agoI rarely work with Excel. A couple of days ago I had the joy to need to apply a function with multiple parameters. The formula parser complained with an error message which meant nothing to me. I finally figured out that I needed to use semicolons as separator for the function arguments (I am from Germany). Who in his right mind does THIS? I tried to change the separator in Windows setting, to no avail.
