The Excel 365 Help 'Excel keyboard shortcuts and function keys' contains many entries like these:
Open a spreadsheet: Ctrl + O
Save a spreadsheet: Ctrl + S
etc.
Shouldn't that be 'Open a workbook', etc? Unless, depressingly, I've forgotten even more of the basic stuff, using those commands operates on all worksheets, not just the active one.

Spreadsheet and Workbook are fairly interchangeable terms in common parlance. The confusion usually arises when someone refers to a spreadsheet when they actually mean a particular Worksheet. Of course, in older versions of Excel a workbook only contained one worksheet so there was no confusion!

Thanks. I'm the fussy type! As Excel internally distinguishes 'Sheets' (Add New sheet, Copy sheet, Move sheet, etc) I was a bit surprised that the formal documentation doesn't do so too.
