# == hash

Just stop calling the # symbol "pound" for fucks sake. Why would you call it that? Moron.

 

[xcript]

Agreed.

 

[lxskllr]

Because it's the pound symbol.

How does it look even remotely similar to the pound symbol? Are you a bit simple?

 

[dighn]

I call it "#"

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

£ <-- pound symbol
# <-- quite clearly not the pound symbol

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

When my voicemail asks me to enter my password and press pound, that's what I think of. That's also the only time I hear it said. So quit being so anal.

 

[Terabyte]

The lady on the telephone calls it "pound" ?

America cares not for your pound. It's not even on the friggin' keyboard.

1. a lot of us spend a lot of time talking with corporate clients\vendors
1a. a lot of phone menus refer to "#" as pound and only rarely call it the hash symbol.

Therefore, please stop being an asshole as we will get brainwashed again tomorrow and don't appreciate your tormenting.

Please press "#" to end this thread or simply logout.
Than you for speaking with Goosemaster.
Goodbye.

£ = British Sterling Pounds
# = American Pound (weight measurement).

Main Entry: 1pound
Pronunciation: \'pau?nd\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural pounds also pound
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English pund, from Latin pondo pound, from abl. of pondus weight ? more at pendant
Date: before 12th century
1: any of various units of mass and weight ; specifically : a unit now in general use among English-speaking peoples equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces or 7000 grains or 0.4536 kilogram ? see weight table
2 a: the basic monetary unit of the United Kingdom ?called also pound sterling b: any of numerous basic monetary units of other countries ? see money table c: the basic monetary unit of Ireland from 1921 to 2001 d: 2lira

See, the weight measurement usage of "pound" is even listed in the Merriam Webster dictionary before your dumb monetary unit version.

Yes, my pound is #, because I never use a pound in monetary terms.

Your pound is "Random squiggle".

That would be what us Americans call an abreviation, not a symbol, #, $, %, and £ are all symbols.

How can I make this clear..... I don't use a pound. I don't use pounds for money. I don't use pounds for weight measurement (I know time zones are confusing for you, but it's the 21st century here). I don't have a pound. The only pounding I do is your mum on a Friday night, but I share her with 25+ other guys so it's not really fair to call it my pound. That's communal pounding.
