It's the Enter key. I can see not knowing a different name for that, if that's not your business.
But "hard return" is the term for hitting that key at the end of a line where you want a break to appear. Do people call it "hard enter"? (That's a serious question.) I don't know what else to call it.
I have made a haircut appointment and called to follow up on my tire repair. And dealt a little with crazy renter situation.
I have been dealing with crappy stuff all week, and I'd love to be done with it.
I'm a terrible formatter, but I feel better about myself now.
Do people call it "hard enter"?
No, but then again, I read all word documents with the hard returns showing and most people don't, so she can't see the paragraph marks anyway.
I'd use "enter" but it doesn't seem like she'd understand that either.

Really? No one has commented on this yet? Y'all are disappointing me today. And, I are 12.

I guess I just don't know where to start explaining the issue to someone who thinks you're supposed to hit "enter" (or "return") when you get to the right-hand margin of every line.

I called and made an appointment to pick out a grave marker. That was actually easy once I got over myself and made the call. Stupid phone, intimidating me out of checking stuff off my To Do List.
Now to call my insurance agent.
But "hard return" is the term for hitting that key at the end of a line where you want a break to appear. Do people call it "hard enter"?
(a) That's what she said.
(b) I don't think I've ever thought to call it anything at all, other than hitting enter.
