According to the infallible dictionary.com, # is both a pound and an number sign. Anyone is said otherwise is wrong.
EDIT:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hash%20mark
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hash
Both of those entries make no mention of # as a "hash." So anyone who suggested that is also wrong.
If thats not a hash, then what's a hashmark?
Around here we generally call it pound.
the phone machine says its a hash when i check messages, so i'll just say hash! :)
It kinda looks like a pile of hashbrowns too!
Do none of you pay attention to the dictionary? *shakes head sadly*
EDIT: Oh yeah
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Octothorpe
So basically, all answers besides hash(number sign, pound sign, and octothorpe) are correct.
Since when does anyone care what some "dictionary" says, you spoon?
Yes, Raist, they are both officially correct, but 'hash' is the correct original while 'pound' is actually just the result of your post office not doing something right. :smash: Octothorpe only came around as recently as the 70's... I think.
As for anyone who says it is 'Sharp' - you're wrong.
♯(sharp) and # are two different symbols. ♯#♯#♯#.
lbdoes not = # so neh (I couldn't work out how to get a = with a / through :( )
And some one just explain what an octothorpe is before I have to go look it up
Are you arguing with the might of dictionary.com? =oQuote:
