C# - how do you say this?

[DaveBo]

I know how to write and type "C#"
But, how is this put into spoken English words?

e.g. is it
"C pound"
"C hash mark"
"C number sign"
"C tic-tac-toe grid"
"C plus plus plus plus"
"C lattice work"
"C not equal to"
"C scratch that!"
"C (and a 4-letter word of the day, e.g "C #$%^&*")
"C with 2 short, parallel horizontal lines intersected by 2 short, nearly vertical parallel lines"
"See - if you can figure this out"

Inquiring (and confused) minds need to know. Thanks, DaveBo

C# = C sharp

like in music...

The pound was the closest they could use since the actual sharp symbol isnt part of any keyboard or character standard.

"C pound"

Did you mean pound mass, or pound force?

Pound - as in quid
Pound - as in where you keep stray dogs
or maybe it's the verb form

Like "to pound meat"?

"#" is SHARP in musical terminology, and "b" is flat. They refer to a note that is a half-step higher (#) and lower (b) then the original. there are also double-sharps and flats.

See Sharp.
See Sharp Run.
Run Sharp, Run.

the key of C# has every key sharped. 7 sharps. ditto for the key of Cb and its flats

F C G D A E B is the sharp order for sharps. key = +1/2 step each
B E A D G C F is the order for flats. key -3.1/2 steps each

one flat B is key of f
one sharp F is key of g
