Yes. Anyone that hasn't been exclusively using macOS for their entire digital life, or at least years, anyway. 'Command' (resp. 'Windows', resp. 'Super') is a different story. You can't say 'Super' with a straight face without also marking yourself out as someone who borders on saying 'GNU with Linux', or 'I run Arch'. (For what it's worth, I do run Arch. ;)) IIRC Option is dually labelled as Alt on some Apple keyboards anyway. |

Since basically nobody knows the historical difference these days, I just call it the Meta key to avoid the above situation. When non-techy people ask me what the hell I mean, I just explain that's the technical term for the key and that I use it so both Mac and Windows people understand me. I've even heard one of them start using the term themselves, presumably to appear smarter in front of their boss.
