OK, folks, can we drop this thread already? I think we've gone to every

I confess! It's the Flower key in my opinion! I never ever liked

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

The only reason for me for correcting anyone is to help them to easier
find and understand information about stuff. If you know what the command
key is, it's surely easier to follow advice that refers to it.

Thats way to be worthy right there. I can think of a dozen people that

I think you mean leech.
But the point is well taken. Maybe use Apple or cloverleaf to guide
someone by means of the symbol to the correct key the first time, if not in
their presence, while instructing that it is called the Command key and

I'll have to find that list.
I STILL tell people flower, since command doesn't connect with any
image on the keyboard, though usually just my friends who don't have
