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.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

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

I'd use "enter" but it doesn't seem like she'd understand that either.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Hmm, maybe make a copy of the document where you've taken out all the returns, and send it back to her with the request that she separate it into paragraphs by adding an extra line in between each paragraph.

Go team Onerous Task!
I am returned from the Department of Parking and Traffic where I have scheduled a hearing to protest our car's towing.
I am emboldened to do another crappy task now.
