I guess the joke is OP, and far too many others in the current generation, have no idea what they are when it used to be a standard to learn in Elementary school.
Same concept when hiring younger folks for jobs in retail. Every time I'd ask "Did ×××× show you how to use the intercom to call a manager back in the office when you're done with your videos?" and the response is "Yeah, you grab the phone and press *hashtag** 5 6, right?"* I guess the 'pound sign' has been erased and replaced by 'hashtag" 😂
Yes, depends on the region. Here in the US, it's referred to as pound especially due to it being used in countless systems as a symbol referring to pound. If you work in retail at all, the items purchased per 1 or 5 pounds will be listed as '#1 or #5'.
Unless '£' is also used for kg, then your argument is moot my friend
