Je voulais savoir d'où provient le signe # ?! 2008-01-17
From Dimitri:
Je voulais savoir d'où provient le signe # ?! On l'appelle diez, sur les téléphones surtout, mais j'aimerai savoir plus précisément à quoi sert ce signe (autre que sur nos appareils) ! Et pourquoi, en anglais, s'il est placé avant un chiffre, on dit 'number' (par exemple #1, 'Number one'). Son origine m'interesse tout autant que son utilité !
