#181459 - RE: Confused by "pound" Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I think many people in this country are confused by american voice prompts that mention the "pound" (sic) key.
Technical people will probably be aware that it's an americanism or, at least, follow the deductive process that it's not a digit or '*' - it's the non-technical people unused to such deductive reasoning that I feel sorry for... |
