I'm surprised this problem existed in English-speaking countries, where
everyone knows meaning of word "any".
In Russia it was much harder, because in 90's most software was not translated
to Russian. We even had special job title "anykeyshik" - junior sysadmin who
tells users where is "any key".

С наилучшими пожеланиями, Andrey
