Re: What is your favorite alternate name for a (specific) keyboard key?

The exclamation key, "!" (shift 1 -> '!' on my keyboard) is called 'bang' or 'shebang'. That substitution is so built in that when someone tells me to use the 'exclamation' key, I have to think about it...

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...

A.K.A pling in some circles. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :) In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

Actually, what I hear from most is "shift one". ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it... A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem... wjw	[reply]
