About this episode
Video - https://youtu.be/St8eymrF9E4
Think you know your keyboard? Think again. From the hashtag that moonlighted as an "octothorpe" to the legal-looking squiggle called a "silcrow," this video unpacks the strange and often hilarious real names behind the symbols you use every day — but never really understood. It's factual, funny, and guaranteed to make you look twice at your next email. Perfect for trivia lovers, casual typists, and anyone who's ever argued whether it's called a parenthesis or just “those curvy things.”
I used ChatGPT-4o, Copilot, ScreenPal, and Pictory.ai to put this information together.
