I am a world-renowned “symbol”. In the English language, if I’m added to a noun, it turns to an adjective (in most cases).
If you put horizontal lines through me, I become a currency, but it is not used in many countries.
In Spanish, I am a “symbol”, but also I am a word. I am used to connect words and phrases. If you watch your School House Rock, I go along with a junction.
No one owns the water. No one owns the land. No one owns the oceans. No one owns the sand. The planet provides all for free. Only by the hands of the greedy, does the Earth require a fee.
