My keyboard doesn't have anything written on it, just the symbol.  The
keyboard beside me says "Enter" and has a similar symbol.  I don't
remember seeing "Return" in many years, but maybe that's a regional
thing.  There's situations where it makes more sense to me to say
"Return" instead of "Enter", but as someone has already pointed out that
may date me :)
