That would brighten anyone's day Elaine Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 11:06:31 PM
One of my colleagues pronounces it "asterix", and has used it a lot so far today because she has to fix the formatting of a document.

Overhearing a call she made, I imagined a letter covered in small but indomitable Gauls.


Send them over to dominate a spreadsheet or two for me, would you? Little Obelixes (Obelixi?) also welcome. There's a miniature of vodka in one of my desk drawers for them (true story).

What about "asterex", king of typographical glyphs? *NM* Nate - 20/09/2011 10:58:05 PM 173 Views
