adria toshok on 12 Mar 14Another subject i have strong feelings about is hashtags. The are number sign or other useful signs. It kind of has turned social medias in to a joke and i know kids and 20/30 year old adults that believe when the see # they just assume its hashtag. I still do not understand this craze.

Tony Phillips on 13 Mar 14Seems like the 4 of us are on the same page where this particular post is concerned because - previous to twitter and other social media - the "hashtag" was nothing more than a sign representing "number" or symbol on a phone; and that's the point.Just because someone found a different and more convenient use for it doesn't mean it enhances traditional language or literacy.

Matt Lowery on 13 Mar 14I understand that the hastag was created out of necessity to catalog and 'expose' your thoughts, pictures, etc. But why has it become such a cultural staple? The hashtag, to me anyways, is equivilent to like the Fonz saying "Aaaaaaayyeee!" or Bugs Bunny with his "What's up Doc?". It's big right now and will likely be remembered eventually as a spoof or nostalgic rememberance of the 2010's. Also, that's a very indepth and thorough list of hashtags haha
