A friend of mine calls $ symbol "money". So when referencing a variable $foo, he says "money foo".
You learn to live with it. -
I feel with you.
The German kids "these days" also prefer the word "hashtag". I bet a lot of them don't know the real word "Raute". -
@vortexman100 eventually it starts affecting you though. I automatically pronounce SQL as "squirrel" now because of that same guy.

@OfficerHalf I read this while I was drinking some water. Now it's in the floor...

@Krokoklemme at work, we often leave out the # and just say include, but if we do not leave it out it is called Raute.
Maybe my colleagues are too old. -
@agentwolf44 I'm not sure I do. I mean, when it's money, it's "x dollars" when it's a variable, I don't.
On its own? Dollar sign, I guess. -
@b-atanasov Best part about octothorp is that it works as a noun, verb and an adjective! Besides it just rolls off the tongueβ so well, I just don't understand why you would want to call it anything but.

@fatlard1993 I actually first heard about the word a year ago. A reason you wouldn't want to use it is because nobody freaking gets what you're saying :D
