RE: just when you think you heard it all

On my first big manuals, a long time ago, we used to tell them to "click
left" and "click right", which is still how I think of it even now.  I am
reminded now and then how non-standard the usage is from the looks I get if
I actually use the term out loud when trying to help someone.

I don't suppose that had anything to do with the demise of the company...

That's why, in my recently completed Style Guide, I decided we 
should say "left-click" and "right-click" ....

It's not possible to anticipate everything, but I try!
