Pound sign is the standard American name for the number sign. If you mean 
the British pound sterling, _that_ is a different sign, but let's not get 
all confused over common terminology here. Whenever the British monetary 
unit is meant, be sure to specify as British pounds sterling sign.

Hi cliff and list:

Just one correction. Number sign is not the same character as the Pound
sign. They are two different ASCII characters.

As far as book port's pronunciation goes, it pronounces all the characters
correctly, such as number for number and dollar for dollar.



Cheers,
Dave
