Coworker just used the term “pound” instead of hashtag when referring to a Tweet. PGP.

I mean, they’re not wrong. I’d certainly prefer spending time with someone like that than a stupid teenager who says shit like, “why do old phones have hashtags if Twitter wasn’t around then? What weirdos.”
I personally think “hashtag” is commonly associated with social media and “pound” the actual telephone key. Then again I’m an early 90s kid who grew up knowing both, so I guess people who are considerably older or younger than I might feel more strongly about the term they use regardless of what they are trying to associate it with.
Ugh, everybody knows it’s an octothorpe!
