minus-squareleadore@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·18 days ago I have no idea why Americans called it the pound sign In the old days, they called it a pound sign and actually used it to mean “pounds” as in weight. In a grocery store there might be a sign reading something like “10# bag Potatoes $1”.
