#181442 - clueless Responding to: ???'s previous message |
When a computer told me to press "pound" on my telephone I would be clueless as there is no british pound £ or lbs on my telephone keypad. I guess I would understand "hash", maybe I would deduce it from not being a digit nor the "star" or "asterisk". But it might also be that I do not understand it all. I've never been in this situation yet and have only heard "dutch computers" on the telephone. |
