£ is pound sterling sign, not pound sign. # is pound sign.

Not over here it isn't.

(I'm assuming you're from over there of course)

I'm from neither there nor there, but given that there are two signs that can be called pound sign, it's IMO less confusing if you use "pound sterling" sign for the pound sterling, and "pound" sign for the other pound sign

Also the word pound has lost all meaning to me now, it look weird to read or write the word pound

There's one word for pound sign. The other thing is called hash
