The National Post’s Robert Fulford has the goods on “one of the great comeback stories in the history of competitive punctuation.”
Personally, I’ve never been much of a fan of the #, as I find it a bit inelegant and unwieldy. And the fact that it owes its resurrection to something as inane as Twitter, whose users—Twits?—had the cheek to rename it a “hashtag,” makes me even less likely to employ it.
These days, however, it’s nice to see punctuation used at all.
