I had absolutely zero idea that there was any political baggage in using that string. Care you make a suggestion that doesn't involve a key I don't have on my keyboard?

The ISO currency code is GBP. I can't imagine using that being a political statement. (And I'd never heard of anyone calling it UKP as a political statement, but presumably it would have something to do with Northern Ireland being a part of UK but not part of Great Britain.)

  you got all that from what he said? I read it as "UK Pound" and just assumed it was a uk vs eu thing that changed.

    I'll avoid it in the future, 'pounds' is just confusing by itself to us Americans because its a common unit of weight. "He owes 100 pounds" "pounds of what? flesh?"

      I’m very sorry: I read far too much into a simple typo, and I jumped to an ill-thought-out conclusion in my confusion. My apologies.

        It's all good, we know you meant well, no harm no foul. Have a good night :)
