How come the number sign (#) is called a number sign everywhere except when it’s on a phone? Then it is called a pound sign (#). It’s the same symbol. The abbreviation for pounds is “lbs”. No one ever writes “He weighed 200 #s”. What is this all about? Ponder.
And why is it on the side of Archie Andrews’ head? I think it’s the Devil’s Mark!!!!!!
In the rest of the English-speaking world (aside from North America), it’s called the “hash” sign. Go figure.
