Ah, but did you ever use the term “Hit the carriage return” in a computer training course? Only when followed by "Line Feed." Did you ever have to overpunch?

Remembered another one: Carbon copy. It was paper sheets with carbon paper in between each sheet. You could only have an original and seven copies. The typewriters could not take more than that amount of paper. The seventh carbon copy was always sloppy.
You learned never to make errors typing. Erasing each copy was a horrible experience that slowed your labor down tremendously.
