How to read keyboard symbols

How to read keyboard symbols

~	tilde (sounds like til-da); be prepared to explain to computer-illiterate people saying "you know, the wave-shaped thingy"
!	exclamation; commonly read as bang in case of #!/bin/sh
@	at
#	pound; but commonly read as shee in case of #!/bin/sh, not sure why
$	dollar
%	percent
^	caret; not many people know this word so be prepared to say "no, not carrot; it's the character above 6, an arrow pointing up"
&	ampersand
*	star; some read asterisk
(	opening parenthesis (some may shorten it saying paren)
)	closing parenthesis
_	underscore; once I heard people say underbar
+	plus
-	minus, hyphen; as symbol before arguments in commands, some people including me read dash, easier to say one syllable
=	equals
`	backtick or backquote
{	opening brace
}	closing brace
[	opening bracket
]	closing bracket
|	pipe or vertical bar
\	backslash; be prepared to explain to some computer-illiterate people
:	colon
;	semicolon
"	double quote
'	single quote
<	less than; some may read left angle bracket
>	greater than
,	comma
.	dot; period if in English text
?	question mark
/	slash or forward slash; some computer-illiterate people may be confused about / and \
	space
(), [] and {}	may also be called brackets in general. In that case, they specifically call [] square brackets and {} curly brackets. I never like this. Open and Closing may also be called left and right.

can't install vim to my new Ubuntu 12.04 安装不了vim

新装了一个ubuntu 12.04，缺发现安装不了VIM

Code:

sudo apt-get install vim

错误信息：

E: Package 'vim' has no installation candidate

使用以下方案解决问题：

先运行下 

Code:

sudo apt-get update

应该是更新源信息，然后再运行

Code:

sudo apt-get install vim

成功！

If you have only just installed Ubuntu, you need to run the following first:

Then try installing vim again
