Actually now that I think about it, I usually call it 'number sign' more often than 'pound sign'.

Same, but never-ever-ever hash.

Hash comes from...well... you know.

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

Are you attempting to be elitist again with your typical underdeveloped elitism skills? You sound like a public school kid who got a little extra money later in life and now thinks he is the shit. It is pathetic really.

The Netherlands is sometimes called Holland by uneducated morons, doesn't mean they're correct.

 

[Goosemaster]

technically the symbol is derived from the abbreviated latin "libra" so pound would seem appropriate.

<---spanish and french speaker so latin wins arguments


i.e. STFU

This. It's the first thread I've felt truly compelled to post it, but GA is full of more shit than a stable of horses.

wow, idiots

In most regions of the United States, the symbol is traditionally called the pound sign, but in others, the number sign. This derives from a series of abbreviations for pound, which is a unit of mass. At first "lb." was used; however, printers later designed a font containing a special symbol of an "lb" with a line through the ascenders so that the lowercase letter "l" would not be mistaken for the number "1". Unicode character U+2114 (?) is called the "LB Bar Symbol", and it is a cursive development of this symbol. Ultimately, there was the reduction to an overlay of two horizontal strokes "=" and two forward-slash-like strokes "//".

it has nothing to do with the pound currency. OP, kill yourself please

£ Denotes currency
# Denotes mass

This shit really isn't that difficult for those of us who made through elementary school.

Bite me

Is it a zed-breh too and not a zee-bra? English is a stupid enough language as is, but God, American English > "English." At least ours is easier to read for foreign noobs.

Except when it's a "fit bird" with a hot British accent. :heart:

Yeah i'm aware of the exchange rate. If you're really interested in why you should probably ask an economist, hell if I know.
