Ah, but did you ever use the term “Hit the carriage return” in a computer training course ... And get asked where that button was?

All the time! I had the chance recently to sit down at a real typewriter and type, and it is funny how limiting a real typewriter is (I found the stalks would jam on me, too many letters typed close together) but how fast I could get back into the flow of “clickety click click clickety click clickclickety click clickclickety click clickclickety click click THUD-ZINGGGGGGGGGG!clickety click click clickety click clickclickety click clickclickety click clickclickety click click THUD-ZINGGGGGGGGGG!clickety click click clickety click clickclickety click clickclickety click clickclickety click click THUD-ZINGGGGGGGGGG”

It was kind of fun

I found that on a computer keyboard, there are combinations of letters and words that I scream through, and it can’t be done on a regular typewriter that way...you have to be more “consistent”.

Only when followed by "Line Feed."

Took me forever to stop slapping the carriage return!

If you are cruising from New York to Great Britain, you must post passage as POSH — port over, starboard home. Has to do with “leeward” already posted here. Or it could be vice-versa, Great Britain to New York. It could also have to do with the sun.

In other words, I don’t really know! Never traveled on a ship from New York to Great Britain. Have never been in either place.
