Any key I've often wondered why it just wasn't changed in all instances from "Press any key" to "Press a key" because then at least there is an actual "A" key to be pressed if it's taken literally...

Ah, the joys of English dialects.... While most dialects say "giblets" there are a few that say "gibbets", or "gibberts", or "gibbits". Yes, English is very consistent in how words are pronounced (never mind the use of totally different words for the same thing) - this is done to confuse people, like me, who's first language isn't English.

Well, he's fictional, as in, it's the title of Pink Floyd's 1st UK hit, in 1967. And as the lyrics say.
