Unit of Time: Day
Effect: series will use a unit of 1 day, counting all 7 days of weeks
Actual Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series using
seven days."
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/source/text/scalc/01/02140600.xhp#79
This text may suggest that increment will be of 7 days which is wrong.
Proposed Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series
using all seven days of the week. Unit of increment is day."
Unit of Time: Weekday
Effect: series will use a unit of 1 day, counting only 5 days of weeks, without
Saturday not Sunday (with my UI fr-FR).
Actual Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series of
five day sets."
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/source/text/scalc/01/02140600.xhp#82
This text may suggest that increment will be of 5 days which is wrong.
Proposed Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series
only using the five weekdays. Unit of increment is day."
Unit of Time: Month
Effect: series will use a unit of 1 month.
Actual Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to form a series from
the names or abbreviations of the months."
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/source/text/scalc/01/02140600.xhp#85
This text may suggest that series will use special format with abbreviated name
of month, which is wrong.
Proposed Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series
which unit of increment is month."
Unit of Time: Year
Effect: series will use a unit of 1 year.
Actual Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series of
years."
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/source/text/scalc/01/02140600.xhp#88
This text may suggest that dates will be formated as year only.
Proposed Text: "Use the Date series type and this option to create a series
which unit of increment is year."
