Can't that kind of "work" be done just as well while doing yardwork or cooking or similar things? I don't see a strong reason to confine employees for 40 hours a week for that.

I'd disagree that regular users don't have any problems with it. One very common problem I've seen is a conversation like "How old are you?" "21." which Markdown interprets '21.' as a list and re

There appear to be updates for 10.9, 10.8, and 10.7, but I can't seem to find one for 10.10 (and yes, 10.10 beta 3 is vulnerable). I guess us Yosemite users will have to wait for the next beta...
