Legend or key?
Dear users,
If I want to include an explanation of a few terms or symbols used in my Excel spreadsheet, should I put them under legend or key?
For example:
Legend/key:
Term1 = abc
Term2 = xyz
Term3 = 123
Thank you.

Both are correct English, but I would say that "Key" is more usual in modern use. "Legend", to me, feels faintly old-fashioned. Opinions may vary.
