I noticed that inspection of every PC keyboard in our office
shows that there isn't a "return" key...it's "enter".  :)
Only our HP keyboards and the one lone Macintosh keyboard have "return"
instead of "enter".  (I'll ignore the HP 85 whose keyboard has
"end line" instead of enter/return).

The "enter" vs "return" really got me when I was trying to help my aunt,
via the phone, with her new PC.  I'd constantly refer to the "return" key,
puzzling her.  I eventually got into the habit of saying "enter" with her.

When I'm testing someone's code, and their program displays "press
any key to continue", I'll sometimes make a show of pressing the
<shift> key, just for fun. :)
