Apparently, ....C# is pronounced "C harsh"
-
Well to be perfectly honest, it technically is C Hash and Not C Sharp, for the official MS character used is the Hash symbol, not the sharp. They are different. The Sharp has the two Vertical lines parallel and perpendicular with the crossed lines at an angle, whereas the hash has the two Horizontal lines parallel and flat, with the uprights at an angle. Sharp[^] and hash[^]

I'm still amazed the yanks aren't calling it C Pound. I couldn't believe my ears the first time I sat beside an American to write some C Code back in the mid 90's, and he started 'Pound-including'. Arguments ensued. I know the real story of the mix-up, but I just love that on their respective keyboards both sides of the Atlantic have their respective 'Pound' signs on the Shift-3 key. -Richard

Yes, our Pound Symbol is a derivation of the letter L, £ and comes from Librum, whereas theirs is the pound symbol for the weight 'Pound'. This means our 3 key is more expensive, but theirs is heavier!

Can two vertical lines be anything other than parallel? Also, what are they perpendicular to if the other lines are at an angle?

They can be coincident.

I don't think you are going to get any call from them - similar thing happened with my friend, when he went to give an interview for SharePoint TL position. The interviewer there had no idea about SharePoint and later declared that he (my friend) is not sound enough with SharePoint ;P :laugh: :laugh: . Few week later he joined M$.

As in... "It was of coincident that you were around to answer my question" :D I think they are still technically parallel, no? Although, the flaw perhaps is in the logical operators of my question

No it isn't: it's whatever they decide it is. It's a bit like Nestle pronounced Nestlay instead of Nestle like we used to. Or Craig being pronounced Kregg in the US and Craig here. This would go so much better if I could say the words. :)

...C# is pronounced C harsh. I just got out of a Job interview and one of the guys on the interviewing panel asked me how long i have been using C# but pronounced it as "C harsh". I wanted to tell him its pronounced differently but, :~ The same guy asked me why i'm indicating on my resume that i have worked with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services yet i had told him earlier in the interview that i haven't worked with Windows server 2008. He couldn't believe it when i told him SQL Server 2008 can be installed on a windows 2003 server. Also at this company, Linux/Unix is a required skill for a Business Intelligence Developer position:suss:

I usually just call it "VB with semicolons", but I heard people calling it "C fence" for instance.

"C hash" certainly would explain a lot ;P I bet Marketing overruled the dev team.

Yes, our Pound Symbol is a derivation of the letter L, £ and comes from Librum, whereas theirs is the pound symbol for the weight 'Pound'. This means our 3 key is more expensive, but theirs is heavier!

"Libra", atcherley. "librum" is the dative (I think; I always get my Latin cases mixed up, these days).

... Which is the same thing. The libra was a unit of weight (that translates into English directly as "pound" -- about 5,000 grain, if I remember my Classics lessons correctly), which was used in trading. We extended the trading use to name our currency.

I knew that, but I also figured it was a pun on C++, as when you merge the 2 +'s together you get a #. Marc
