sonny, get her to drink many cans of sparks, then mumble some crap
ronan, you see, my point is proved. but, when you are not in the store, they say, "has he gone yet?" "yes, i think so", and then they put the kasabian cd on. they like it too. you should think abuot that

I think it's this concoction made of raisins, shredded nuts, spices etc, also known as "sweetmince" which is cooked into little pastry pies. Or perhaps it's little home-made sweets, marzipans etc. One of those 2 things, anyway.

hi britishes
is "the telegraph" a real newspaper?
maybe there is a "british english" translation problem?
please help me understand this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/5009465/YouTube-spammed-by-US-Congressmen.html
"cheers,"

WTF with replacing # with £ sign?
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 14:23 (ten months ago) link
I don't know why anyone would replace a hash with a pound sign sorry
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 14:40 (ten months ago) link
# was used (and maybe is still used somewhere) to denote pounds, as in the weight, and is still referred to generally as "the pound sign" when you are calling an automated phone line in the uk
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 16:57 (ten months ago) link
but i have never seen it used to denote pounds, as in the currency
On my mac keyboard they're both above the three (# is alt+3, £ is shift+3), so could it be an accident? Otherwise I'd guess jim's explanation of "pound sign" is correct.
(Also it's called an octothorpe really)
― emil.y, Wednesday, 14 July 2021 17:01 (ten months ago) link
On reflection I want to take back my parenthetical prescriptivist remark. One of its technical names is the octothorpe, which is a good name and a fun thing to know, but that doesn't mean it is the only thing that it is "really" called.

is this true? not in my experience, it's usually called Hash
― bovarism, Wednesday, 14 July 2021 17:09 (ten months ago) link
oooooh, you know what, i think youre right and it's called the pound sign here (canada)
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 17:18 (ten months ago) link
yeah never encountered it being called anything apart from a hash until I left the UK
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 17:23 (ten months ago) link
I've heard automated phone lines - with English accents - refer to it as 'pound'.
― Being cheap is expensive (snoball), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 17:56 (ten months ago) link
I've never in my life heard it described as a pound sign, or used in reference to weights.
― Wouldn't disgrace a Michael Jackson (Tom D.), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 19:38 (ten months ago) link
Also the use of it to denote number, #1 or #9, is an American thing fwiw.
― Wouldn't disgrace a Michael Jackson (Tom D.), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 19:42 (ten months ago) link
^^^ I use the # for that a lot, because I think it looks good
― Being cheap is expensive (snoball), Wednesday, 14 July 2021 19:59 (ten months ago) link
So do I, it's neater, but I remember the first time I saw it used liked that not really knowing what it was - that was a long time ago though!
