Old Memorization

Translate the following letter words:

And six

dollar sharp four raised to

three factorial every hundred pound dollar

and nine percent circumflex number four

epershand seven at sign five

two libra dollar piece of eight hash three

seven enclosed a

power little star exponent three

zero multiply one exclamation bang two

a lot of the words are synonyms or different names for the same symbol (or perhaps translations US - UK) eg "and" "epershand" ; "raised to" "power" "circumflex" ; "hash" "number" "sharp"; "libra" "pound".

And all can be found on a keyboard. Is it important which keyboard layout is used?

I'm assuming a data-entry keyboard - but there are different versions. I also recall talking to an American colleague about keyboard layouts and we reached an impasse about the "pound" sign. After a couple of hours we discovered that by "pound sign", I meant this - £, and he meant this - #

Yes # is lb ( a 101 standard keyboard is used )

If you take into account the capitalization that he implies (by use of the SHIFT key), I get more like the following:
