I'm guessing it consists of shitty fixes in code that have been layered over one another for like 20+ years. There are so many times where it does something that makes no sense at all. Having gotten used to newer programming in other apps/products that are fairly intuitive it really makes me realize what a pile of shit word is.

Go with TNR. Just like most old-money WASPs drive Audis or less, truly classy legal professionals use TNR in their 9-page screechy meet-and-confer letters arguing over the responsiveness of production to Common RFP #19a. |
