^ This.
To go along with the spirit of the thread "quite" is the one that annoys me here at GTP, but for no good reason.

Number Symbol is also appropriate.
This would be like an automated phone system saying "Please press the star, asterisk, or splat key."
"Please press the exclamation or bang key."

I always remember them as the Pound and Star keys. Here they tend to ask you just press a number as most people under the age of twenty won't have a clue what anything else on the keypad is
Or they ask you to SAY what you want..... oh the horror of voice recognition.
...or they just hang up

Our phones have always had star and hash keys in addition to the numbers...
In fact spamming the hash key usually bypasses the automated section and puts you through to an operator. Something to do with the hard of hearing.

"Welcome to Global Crossing, please enter your PIN number followed by the Pound sign". Grrrr!!!! In Britain we have, as noted, a normal hash key
And starting a sentence with "so". So I read some posts earlier, they started that way. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

So what if I wanted to say something about this thread? I would say, "This thread is ___". In that context there isn't a good word I could replace "This" with. I could say, "The thread about 'this'", or "The thread we are reading", but those replacements for "this" are both longer and sound unnatural.
I find "it" to be a much more annoying and overused word because there's always a different word you can use instead of "it".

Fake and ghey.
Is the internet more accepting of beating dead horses than real life conversations are? I rarely hear these expressions in reality and when I do I can only imagine they're used ironically.
