If you look at the verb hatch, there\'s a much more plausible explanation. In linguistic terms, \"hatch\" and \"hash\" are as good as interchangeable, since they share an etymology and it\'s quite common for phonological variation to result in meanings that diverge slightly, and even converge later. Hatch has been used since the 15th century to refer to the practice of inlaying parallel strips of contrasting metals into a surface as a means of decoration--similar to what is done on a military uniform\'s sleeve. In engraving, if you hatch a surface, you etch parallel lines to create shading; sometimes these lines cross each other, creating a pattern like #, the hash mark. Hatching is also a common technique used to rough up a surface such as brick before applying a layer of plaster.
