Punctuation Pronunciation Guide

for the true geek

from JoeUser Forums
Here's a little reference sheet for those of you who need to give people directions on what to type...

Thisis called:
~twiddle
' tick
` back-tick
! bang
@ at
# hash
$ cash
^ hat
& amp
* splat
- dash
( and ) bananas (left and right)
[ and ] brackets
{ and } braces
< and > wakas or angle-brackets or lit and git
\ bash
| pipe
? what
/ slash
. dot


Now for your further edification, I have composed a poem:

<>@$=*
((~^
&%?##4
/'`_
+-[]|.\
{}$@**General Protection Fault

 Anyone care to transliterate?

You're really close, Anglo....

Waka waka at cash equals splat
left banana left banana twiddle hat
and percent what hash hash four
slash tick back-tick underscore
plus minus brackets pipe dot bash
braces cash at splat splat CRASH.



I'm thinking I should change the last line to "!?~?!!General Protection Fault", though. That would make more sense.

(sarcastically) Oh, yeah, that would help TREMENDOUSLY, it'll make tons more sense.

Well, it's a much more computer-repair-related kind of line, is all.

bang what twiddle what bang bang CRASH

Doesn't that sound like someone trying to fix a computer to you?
