I enjoyed the C# section on whether it's a real sharp sign or a plain octothorpe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars#C#

> The issue was resolved with an e-mail exchange with Microsoft stating that in their view it's an octothorpe symbol representing the sharp symbol, similar to how "<=" represents the less than or equal symbol, and that thus Microsoft does not disagree with ECMA. Written "Netscape" but pronounced "Mozilla", eh?
