I work in an IT group for a large company, and low and behold every one of the techs told me that they regularly get questions like this... even today. I don't get it..... Press Any Key... simple English. The "forward slash key" the, the "back slash key", the "Escape [ESC] key" I can understand those issues... they require a "little" knowledge of the keyboard and how they are referred to by a tech and the customer...... but "Any Key?" They have to be out to lunch to ask that question. I know my way around a computer, but I am not tech and can't tell you every part of a computer, or tear one apart and put it back together blindfolded.... This isn't talking over someone's head either..... It is just simply, plain enlish.... Press any key. The "the" any key. (Then they should look for a key called "any.") It is a sad statement on society at large that our ability to understand English has degraded this far and further prooves the intelligence of "mankind" has progressed as far as we might like to believe.... Truly sad..... Okay... I've cooled down now..... hopefully none of these people have their finger on "The Button." Should we go to war.. they will probably look for the "Button" button.
