Question.

[conuly]

Why is it that, on my laptop, there's enough room for del to be written out full, as delete, but not enough room for ctrl to be written out control, or alt to be... what does alt stand for, anyway? Altruistic? Althiometer? Al's Takeout?

Yes, that was random.

That sounds possible. I've also never, ever heard anyone refer to the "capitals lock" key, probably for much the same reason.

It is rather amusing though. My keyboard can fit "Print Screen Sys Rq" onto a single tiny key, but doesn't put anything more than "Ctrl" on one twice the size.

My keyboard obviously isn't as cool as yours - I have only "Prnt Scrn SysRq"

Maybe that's how netspeak started...

Am I imagining things, or did keyboards ten years ago put "Print" instead of "Print Screen" or "Prnt Scrn"

My prtscn sysrq key is as big as my ctrl keys.

Thats what I get for buying a microsoft keyboard.
