Oct. 8th, 2003 11:25 amToday's word of the day at wordsmith is "octothorpe", which is basically a name for the '#' symbol. I'm fascinated by the number of names for that symbol, though!
from the entry:
"The '#' is also known as a pound sign, crosshatch, number sign, sharp, hash, crunch, mesh, hex, flash, grid, pig-pen, gate, hak, oof, rake, fence, gate, grid, gridlet, square, and widget mark."
Hak! Oof!
