[Asterisk-Users] English vs American voice files

[Ben Merrills]

Hash! 

When we had the American voices on our system a lot of people complained, not only that it was American (no offence to Americans!) but also because of the terminology used, e.g. `pound`.

We re-recorded all our voice files and use `hash`.

Ah, this brings up an interesting point. I've noted that BT are calling #
"square" rather than "hash". What do the other providers call it back in
Blighty?

Before someone goes recording the files we'd better get the language
straight.
