Don't forget that we are in a global village. Non-US keyboards are often
differently labelled.

Similar to my German keyboard (and presumably to Swedish keyboards,
too).

I've read that some people in MacOS specific German newsgroups call
these keys "Badewanne" (bathing tub = alt key) and "Blumenkohl"
(cauliflower = apple/quadrupel loop key). 


Best wishes,
