Huh. I always think of them as "start-of-line" and "end-of-line". I mean, a lot of the time when I'm working with regexes, I'm working with text a line at a time so the effect is the same, but that doesn't change how I think of those operators.
Maybe because a fair amount of the work I do with regexes (and, probably, how I was introduced to them) is via `grep`, so I'm often thinking of the inputs as "lines" rather than "strings"?
