 That's fine and dandy, and I usually do say Command when talking to other

Haven't really followed this thread, but hummmmm.  A quick ad-hoc 
survey of the people in my fav IRC channels right now (200+ people, 
both Mac and PC and general oriented channels)...  Not even one 
person has ever heard that key called "flower".  They call it either 
"command" or "clover".

It has been the command key for +/- 20 years now...
Personally, I miss the "meta" key.  Like command, option, shift, and 
control, it was a multi-press modifier.  Went by the wayside in the 
early 80s, I guess.

Now where's the Any key?
