What does this icon really mean? 
I honestly thought it was the same as "Ditto", but mispelled. Now I'm pretty sure it actually means something else, but what?
I'm thinking this may not be as innocent as I once thought.  |

Sounds like someone wanted a lazy way to say "me too!" |

I know, that's one of the forums I support. 
I'm just wondering because when I dump the word in Google, it comes up with quite a few results. http://www.google.com/search?q=dito
When I click on the link in Google to translate some of the sites which appear in the results, Google will say that it is translating from French, Italian, Portuguese, or German.
When I use Google's Translation tools, here's what I get:
Italian to English -- finger  Portuguese to English -- said French to English -- Sorry, this text cannot be translated German to English -- Sorry, this text cannot be translated
Babelfish results in the same.
I'm just hoping it doesn't mean "finger" as in...you know what I mean.  |
