I don't know what the odds are of getting accused, but let's say this was in the context of an interview question, and every answer submitted looks almost 100% the same, or even more telling, has the same logic mistakes, then the

I used it recently because it's the built-in scripting option for Outlook. I found myself writing the same emails over and over again, so I automated the writing with VBA, using input prompts for the variable parts. I'm not famili

I put that sentence into a "scratch.txt" and a .org buffer in emacs, and when I hit M-e (forward-sentence) it just goes to the end of the line ... Then I realized that the 1st sentence was missing the extra space after the 2nd per

Hmmm ... nonsense apparently! I got my iPad, tried several different apps, and I now see that the feature is present in all of the ones I tried. I think what I did differently this time was hold the spacebar down long enough for the feature
