The "#" sign is sometimes called "pound sign" in non-sterling countries.

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

£ Denotes currency
# Denotes mass

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

Er.... a pound is weight, not mass

"Zed" is 100% bona-fide WRONG, as is using pounds, inches, ounces, fathoms, and bushels.

Yes, fuck the Imperial system! Free us from the remaining shackles of our colonial overlords!

I agree in principle, but I'm too set in my ways at this point to stop using the gallon and the mile. Well, I could get used to liters, I think but I can't give up miles and miles per hour.

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.
