Re: Naes of ASCII Symbols
I had heard of the "#" mark being called the "pound sign," "number sign," and occasionally "octothorpe" in the USA. But the Japanese engineers that I work with, both in Osaka and Tokyo, refer to it as the "sharp (pronounced 'shaapu')." It took a couple times for me to recognize it as a musical term, opposite of "flat (pronounced 'furaato')." Punctuationally yours, Jack Thro
