Hi, I am a list reader who is interested in hearing opinions on a rather
picky but relevant (I think) word differentiation issue -
what's the difference, technically speaking, between a 'table' and a
'matrix'? I have a colleague who likes to refer to everything put into
tabled format as a 'matrix'. I, on the other hand, prefer to call a table a
table.

any quick & easy ways to identify the difference?
thanks for your thoughts,
jenny
