You know you’re old when you no longer speak Kid.

I’ve always called it a pound sign.

It serves many purposes and continues to be a number sign AND a pound sign. Those who believe it is only a hashtag are simply undereducated.

Dear May Kitten,

I love you

In Dutch it’s a fence!

First sentence in Wikipedia about hashtags:

A hashtag is a word or an unspaced phrase prefixed with the number sign (“#”).

This morning, I had corned beef hash for breakfast! I suppose I should have asked the waitress to “tag” it?Eh?

You know, over the years light bulbs have changed in shape, size, contents, methodology, usage, etc.But, they are still “light bulbs”…

It’s a tic-tac-toe grid.

The problem with calling it a pound sign is that on a British keyboard that is something completely different. As for “octothorpe”, I’ve always thought that was just AT&T having a good laugh on the rest of us.

Very similar to a sharp sign.
