Hash, pound # |
Back slash \ is from MS-DOS
Forward slash / is from Unix |

Yep, I'm talking about people who use the term 'backslash' when reading out URL's.
Like http colon backslash backslash or pelican parts dot com backslash off topic. Aarrgghhhh. |

We always said whack was the \ and scratch was the /
And yes \ is back, and / is forward, I dunno why people really want to say the / is back? Weird, but very common. |
And here I thought I was a nerd.....

There are slashes and backslashes.
There is no such thing as a forward slash. Saying it that way is just redundant, IMO... like saying something occurred at "2 A.M. in the morning." |

I remember the stone ages of setting up modems. My US Robotics Dual Standard had some set up strings that were real tongue twisters. I was helping a buddy set his modem up over the phone and reading the setup string I was using and a friend was at my house listing. She thought we were talking secret code.

And yeah, when I said / is forward, I just meant it as *not* back, not that you actually say "forward slash", it's just a slash dammit. |
When I'm on the phone with somebody and tell them to "click" on something and they ask "left-click?" I want to slap them!
