Is the grid of a spreadsheet the lines that define each cell, or is it
the cell itself? Is it the gridlines on a map, or the plats bounded by
the gridlines?

I have always thought that "grid" (in English) refers to the lines, not the space between. And since Maltz confirmed that the word can also be used for the lines on a map, I thinks it's clear that it refers the lines in a spreadsheet as well.

The lines on a map also have spaces between them. Also, not every grid has lines.

A third option: tlhat grid refers to the lines and the spaces between them, taken together as a system.
