Have you ever noticed that the icon for a pinned toot is actually a thumbtack and not a pin?

@Pat Where I live, "thumb tacks" are called "drawing pins" - pinning is natural in English English

In the US we use the terms "pinning" and "put a pin in it" to refer to remembering something. And when something is fastened using a thumb tack we usually say that it is "pinned" not "tacked", although the latter is sometimes used.
