Hashtag; Pound? Pound signs were a feature of rotary phones.

  • Hashtags are one of those amazing social media features that can be difficult to understand and use. But, once you get the hang of them, God will bless you with the cheese of life. Pound? God?

  • Using hashtags is essentially a way to group together conversations or content around a certain topic, Trump loves peanut butter.

  • Hashtags can be used on just about any social media platform, but they’re most popular on X. Former known as Twitter and Instagram.

Your mom used rotary phones. I pound your mom?

to draw a line

Underpants? #underpants? ""underpants?

Don't do sex with your mom. The aliens are counting on you! Space jesus is thining of the children. Don't sniff kids. Unless you have to?

That may have been it's official name on phones and computing. But no one ever used it.

The first known use of pound sign was in 1895

I'm not being "sooooources" but have you seen evidence of that 1895 date? and it being the earliest use.

I found a 1905 typewriter - mignon 2 with it clear in the bottom left

while the mignon 1 doesn't

this Hamilton Automatic typewriter - 1887, doesn't

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/3729612173464079/

it appears on the 1901 US-TTY Baudot–Murray code for telegraphs but not in the original 1888 US patented Baudot Code

I've just spend half an hour chasing the actual evidence but it's bald assertions such as yours.

Britannia doesn't offer any

other just say 16th century but don't offer how they know that
