Pound, a whaaaat?

Some of you were surprised to learn the other day that there is a "pound" in my password, and not the British currency type. But what did I mean by "pound", when I was looking for it feverishly on the Hungarian keyboard.

### Pound, number or hashtag?

It's hashtag when you're on twitter.

The operator would announce it as a "number sign" when you skip automated announcements when you call your--let's say internet--provider.

Pound it is in all other cases.
