Ctrl

Ctrl (pronounced /kə.tɑr.(ə)l/) is a long-form of Control. This letter can be found in almost all keyboards. All other letters of the alphabet can be mixed with Ctrl to do something. Well, except F11 and ?.

As the name suggests, the Ctrl button can grant you control over everything, including termination of other people's lives, cloning your brother's iPod for yourself, equipping your house with nuclear missiles, etc. However, no one really knows how this button works and how to use it.

For example, in MS-DOS, pressing Ctrl with C will cause a massacre, while in Windows such a key combination will only duplicate your homework.

Note

The Command Key

• If you are using a Macintosh please be aware that due to several previous lawsuits, the Ctrl key on your keyboard has been demoted to making silly squiggly symbols. To remedy this, use the Bigger and More Powerful Command Key. This will do all this AND MORE.
• If you are using the iRAQ Pocket PC, note that the Control-Dubya key combination is not working correctly. The StrongARM CPU merely goes into an endless loop searching for non-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction and the processor must then be reset.
