And CherryXS... LB...?! :unsure:

(edited... never mind, I just worked out as I clicked 'post' that you're using 'LB' due to the lack of a £ key on American keyboards...! I'm a bit slow this morning... ;) )

Just to be really picky though, "LB" is a measure of weight and cannot be used to mean Pounds Sterling.

For future use CherryXS, please cut and paste here: £££££££££££££££££££££££££

PS I typed those on an American Mac Keyboard (Option-3).

Yeah... didn't feel like being super-picky and pointing that (that lb is a measure of weight not an abbreviation for pounds sterling, I mean) out, but... GBP would serve better than LB if you can't find any ££££ signs about to copy and paste (or can't remember how to get one on an American keyboard)! :)

Dr_LHA... Camino's habit of playing 'hide the cursor' when I'm trying to reply to posts here is driving me to distraction. I hope your Safari/iPhone combo is behaving better!

Kinda off topic, but I had to laugh at the lb vs £ comments. My hubby texts my email address regularly when he's out and about away from his PC, and I've got so used to seeing lb when he texts about money here. I don't even bat an eyelid anymore.

One thing which happened yesterday at work (which, when I told hubby, he jokingly said it was the next stage in his plan to turn me American) is I looked at the date 05/07/07 and the first thing that came to mind was... "I didn't enter that value in May" :wacko:

Eh, it's because "lb" means "pound" as weight unit (I learned, "unlearned" and "relearned" this in 36 years of living in North America) that I decided to use "LB" for the currency.

That doesn't make any sense to those of us who actually are from the UK is the problem (or anyone else I'd wager, being as you just made it up!) Although pound and pound are homonyms, when I see "lb" it never means "pounds sterling" in my brain, no matter what.

The standard abbreviation for people who can't find the £ on their keyboard is "UKP" BTW.

I always thought GBP was the standard abbreviation, since that's what all the foreign currency exchange houses use on their conversion tables...

But I don't really need to worry about that so much anymore since I learned today how to make the £ using my American keyboard, thanks to this thread! :lol:
