Does someone have a good resource on learning Excel Vocabulary, symbols, wild cards, etc?

I have learned many of them in passing, but I would like to have a reference of everything Excel uses as far as arbitrary characters and words (e.g. Concatenate, really? is that a real word?)
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hi James,

Microsoft has a really short one: Wildcard characters - Excel - Office.com
And for the vocabulary: are you looking for a list of formulas? But creative uses of wildcards, like a SUMIF where you add up everything that doesn't have a "k" in the name ( =SUMIF(A2:A11;"<>*k*";B2:B11) ), I haven't seen a list of that kind of stuff...

Cheers,

Koen
