As I understand it, dns0.eu is run by a french non-profit and has no actual connection with the EU.

To a french ear, it sounds like a (bad) translation from English.

For instance, "a été testée au combat" is meaningless in French. The same idea in idiomatic French would be "a subi l'épreuve du feu".

I don't remember if it was the case for the TI-92+, but some calculators can show the intermediate steps, or at least some of them.
