When I was in the USA, before twitter existed, the only time I came across the # symbol was on your phones. You always referred to it as the 'Pound' key - Press pound etc...

This confused me at first cause to me it was the hash key, but no biggy... I joined in and called it the pound key as well. That way we all knew what we were talking about.

Now with twitter you lot all call it the hash tag - Like I called it the hash key...

So the question is, did you all change with twitter, or was it something else? Interestingly enough, to produce the # symbol on my apple keyboard, I have to push 'alt 3' which is the symbol of the '£' (Pound) on my keyboard !

When did you stop calling it the pound symbol and start calling it the hash???
