This clause is informative.

The following acronyms and abbreviations are used throughout this specification:

BCL --- Base Class Library, which provides types to represent the built-in data types of the CLI, simple file access, custom attributes, security attributes, string manipulation, formatting, streams, and collections.

CLI --- Common Language Infrastructure

CLS --- Common Language Specification

IEC --- the International Electrotechnical Commission

IEEE --- the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

ISO --- the International Organization for Standardization

The name C# is pronounced "C Sharp".

The name C# is written as the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C (U+0043) followed by the NUMBER SIGN # (U+0023).

The following types appear throughout this specification. The full names of those types, including the global namespace qualifier are listed below for reference. Throughout this specification, these types will appear as the fully qualified name, omitting the global namespace qualifier, or as a simple unqualified type name, omitting the namespace. For example, the type ICollection<T>, when used in this specification, always means the type global::System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<T>.
