TIL the ` character is known as the 'grave' character

meanwhile my 🤡 ass has been calling it 'back tick' this whole time...

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I always called it back tick

+1 for Back tick

this mistake will have cònsèqùèncès

Characters can have multiple correct names.

I like this the most: .

Dot, point, full stop, period.

It's called accent grave when it's over a letter in French text (and probably other languages too).

Mate it's a back tick... 😂

@Lensflare you love that dot lol. You brought it up in another rant.

@Lensflare

Or Punkt in Deutsch 🙏

I like that the English call the hashtag a pound. Good for the #metoo movement

@retoor Translations of different names for # in German:

Double cross
Rhombus
Square
Number sign
Garden fence
Pig gate
Channel grille
Crossbar

I wouldn’t be surprised if it holds the record for the highest number of alternative names in any language.

@Lensflare that's why nobody speaks that silly language anymore. In around one hundred years you'll all speak proper Dutch and eat frikadellenbroodje for lunch

@retoor Prost, Mahlzeit!

@retoor since weed has been legalised in germany now, and since dutch is just "german after five joints", you might be right about this one ;)
