Then you'd be wrong. ````` is a grave accent or backtick, but I call
it Ralph.

LOL! No, it's *five* grave accents. You should call it
Ralph-Ralph-Ralph-Ralph-Ralph.

Sounds like a dog barking.

These ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ are tildes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These ``````````````````` are grave accents ``````````````````````````

And these ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ are NOT signs ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

On British keyboards, it's called the NOT sign ¬. Alt + 0172 = ¬. That key
also has the grave accent and the pipe.

Heh, you numpty, totally dependent on language/region/keyboard type
(notebook vs compact vs fullsize).

BTW - The key you refer to *is* the pipe key .... I bet you can't find
another on your keyboard can you ??

The pipe key is found on my keyboard on the same key as the backslash and
it's on the right side below the backspace key.
 
As long as we're asking about keys, what's the key between the
right-hand Windows and Ctrl keys? It looks like a little calculator with
an arrow pointing to the answer.

it's like pressing the right-mouse button on whatever object you have
selected...

What the picture actually is:

drop-down menu, mouse pointer and the highlighted selection of the drop-down
menu..
All produced if you right-click most things in Windows...

And on my UK k/b it's where the OP said, though still with the backslash.
OK, it appears on my screen as a solid vertical ( | ) in Windows, but a DOS
command line shows and interprets it as 'pipe' ( ¦ ). The "other" pipe
symbol doesn't work for me in DOS

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout for some variations around
the world.

"Open quotes" key ( ` ) would be a logical name except that there's no
"Close quotes" partner, shifting giving a logic NOT (the kind of "hook" (
¬ )).
