OK, Enough is Enough

[gnomi]

Dear folks that write radio ad copy,

That thingy in Web addresses, the "/"? That is a virgule, AKA a slash. It is not, I repeat *not*, a back slash. If someone were to type the Web address with a backslash, they wouldn't get anywhere. To show you the difference, here's a back slash: \. Here, in fact, are multiple: \\\\\\. They should never appear in URLs. Never ever.

And why is it that you can say "www.blahblah.com-slash-purplemonkey" but then you say "backslash-dishwasher"? I mean, if you look at the URL, it's the same punctuation mark. Trust me.

In the name of punctuation clarity and proper punctuation identity,

--Me

Maybe they're writing backslash fiction? (Maybe I don't want to know what that is....)

Instead of man on man, it's man on man.

Or instead of
character-of-higher-rank/character-of-lower-rank, it's
character-of-lower-rank\character-of-higher-rank.
