You're incorrect, especially for the typical reader here. A good chunk (maybe not over 50%, but its gotta be close) of the regular readers on this site use Macs. Most Mac keyboards, including the ones on the Macbook Pro, spell it out. Same for most non IBM/IBM-PC compatible keyboards.


I'm typing on a MacBook Pro that has "ctrl".

Not sure I've ever seen a Mac keyboard that said "control", but maybe that's because I've mostly seen Finnish keycaps.


Enjoy this picture of an Apple keyboard that says "control": https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Apple_Keyboard.JPG


Look in the menu bars and you'll only see ^ describing the shortcuts.


I'm typing on a mac keyboard too. It has 'ctrl', 'esc', but 'delete' is written in full.


My mid 2014 MBP control key is labeled "control"
