Splash screen ambiguity

Splash screen ambiguity

[Werner LEMBERG]

On the splash screen, after Emacs has started, you can see the phrase

  Type C-l to begin editing.

The used font shape is sans-serif on my system -- this makes C-l look
the same as C-I.  I suggest to write something like

  Type C-l (Control-ell) to begin editing.

Does this give good results?
