Because they're talking about a spreadsheet, not a Legacy database. :-)
Kind Regards,

Of course, there will be other Mc's besides McDonalds. So maybe you
want to search and replace "Mc " with "Mc" and "Mac " with "Mac". (But
I'd want to check that process one by one probably.)
Why is Search & Replace even being suggested!?
It is so simple to go to the Master Surname List and scroll down to
M. Every unique surname beginning with M will be listed, and they
can be edited (once for all individuals with that spelling) and can
also be combined (where one has a space and another does not). There
is no reason to change records individually.
