I'm cross-posting this to alt.usage.english (or was it
alt.english.usage?), since there was a thread on this a couple of years
ago. Also, what's the name of "@"?
And why not go through the whole keyboard?
! exclamation point
@
# octothorp
$ dollar sign, anything else?
% percent sign
^ caret, roof
& ampersand
* asterisk
( left parenthesis
) right parenthesis
- en dash
_ underscore
+ plus sign
= equals sign
|
\ back slash
{ left brace
} right brace
[ left bracket
] right bracket
; semicolon
: colon
' scare quote, apostrophe
" quotation mark
, comma
< left angel bracket
> right angel bracket
. period
/ slash. Other name
? question mark
~ tilde
grave accent (hmm, ProComm won't let me type it in)
