Just a quick note from a picky Brit. # is NOT a pound sign, Joe!

The symbol # is (over here at least) known as a "hash", and means "number". Or in a musical context it could be interpreted as "sharp". £ is a pound sign, indicating the price of something. Alternatively, "lb" means pounds weight.

Sorry to be awkward, but it just grates. If someone wrote "I saw a feeled of sheeps" (without comic intent, anyway), that would irritate too.

Grab.
