🆎If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?
Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)@bloor "Denice", surely?

The cat who walks thru walls@countablenewt I will always treasure the memory of a cow-orker who once pronounced SQL*Plus as "squeal! splat! plus!" (I am well aware he was not the only one) @greem @bloor

@mrrmot @countablenewt @greem @bloor If you're like me and came from a Microsoft software development background, you might wonder about the proliferations of "sharps". The world replied "Those are hashtags!"
Enola Knezevic@AncTreat5358 @mrrmot @countablenewt @greem @bloor Used for hashtags but on their own they are just hashes. (Sharp in music is a different sign.)

Er, I think hash/sharp (#) is only rendered as a pound sign if you're using a very very old character set.
I thought that most of that rubbish had disappeared many years ago, once we started using unicode.
However, the people who build cash tills, credit card terminals, receipt printers, etc, seem to be stuck with wacky character sets. They often render the pound sign as weird other characters. 😟💷
Interestingly though, (and sadly) on my phone keyboard, if I search the emojis for 'pound', the only option it offers me is: #️⃣ (ie, a hash sign) 😡
