          If I was typing 4^3, how would I say it out loud?

              I mean to actually say what symbols they were

              e.g. 4 [enter name of ^ here] 3

              I've gotten two names for the character, and the name for it in this sense is what I'd like .

                    You'd make a terrible computer scientist.

                      Everyone in CS-land calls that a caret, if they need to pronounce it.

                        How about something more geeky?

                        "Shift + that key next to the Enter key"

                          It's "Shift + 6" in North America.

                            Of course, all the cool people would say "Shift + the key between 5 and 7"

                              I tend not to use it or talk about it, but if I must I think that "doohickey" fits nicely.
