Comment on When did the world change to the so called hashtag? When I was younger it was only the pound sign. So hashtag Taylor Swift still reads in my mind pound Taylor Swift?

  Fascinating. The wikipedia page is for shebang so clearly you are right.

  But the wikipedia page also cites it being called hashbang – citing mostly o’reilly books.

  Now I’m intrigued, not that I have a lot of reason to talk about shell scripts, but I had never heard it called any other way.

  TIL, thanks!

    In college we were taught “hash bang or shebang for short”.
