Lollersville!

Want to make yourself giggle?  Assuming you're not one of the stupid people this will be a revelation to, of course.

Those funny symbols on top of the number keys on the keyboard?  They all have names.  I know what they are.  The people I talk to for work?  They usually don't.  Here's a sample of the crazy names people use because they're uneducated dingbats and/or people who don't speak English as a Language.

• The squiggly line
• explanation point
• exclamination point
• shift 1 (this name is repeated for all remaining numbers, sometimes shift key plus, sometimes slift key - not making this up)
• similarly, 'thing above 1' (and other numbers) is also a popular way for people to exhibit their ignorance
• squiggly a
• alt sign(that's so close to being right!)
• (my favorite) email symbol
• oddly, everyone gets 3 right
• money symbol (so close!)
• s with a line through it (seriously, i've heard people say this)
• persplent symbol (no, not mispronouncing it... that's what they really thought it was called)
• circle line symbol (that one took me a while)
• nobody knew what 6 was
• pointy symbol
• up arrow thingy
• musical note (yeah, i was flabbergasted too)
• andy symbol (again, that's what they really thought it was called)
• astersplit
• asterkiss
• yeah, no one knows what the things above 9 or 0 are
• everyone knows what the minus key is but no one seems to realize that holding down shift gives you an entirely different character
• everyone knows what plus and equal are
