Hi Wendy,
Probably, but unless your US colleagues are writers, I wouldn't worry about
it. Most writers here have heard of the MS Guide. Most non-writer types the
world over tend to be style-illiterate.
HTH, and greetings from California!

Subject: [austechwriter] Enter vs. Type
I am getting pressure from US colleagues to use 'Enter' instead of 'Type'
when referring to typing something into a field. They claim this is "more
American". This is against the recommendation of the MS style guide, and my
own inclination and experience. Is this in fact the more common usage in the
US?
Regards
Wendy
