I Propose We Rename \ and /
-
A coworker was recently confused about which slash was the backslash and which was the forward slash. I propose we rename them, perhaps to one of these:
\
/
Slide Slash
Hill Slash
Five Slash
One Slash
Negative Slash
Positive Slash
Fall Slash
Rise Slash
Other ideas?

3 of them are good. But I confuse your Five Slash with the 5to5 slash and the 25past11 slash. Also the one slash is hard to tell from the 1:35 and the SevenOhFive slashes. Idea: \ left surprised eyebrow / left sad eyebrow

I remember it this way, bottom to top lean-forward, / - forward slash bottom to top lean-backward, \ - backslash

/ rSlash \ lSlash best, Bill
"Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

All are confusing, and I still screw up on when to use forward slash and when to use back slash.

How 'bout \ -> left slash / -> right slash
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun -

They're fine the way they are; leave well enough alone. Anecdote: Way back in college in the late 80s I overheard a teacher telling his class to reverse the names so that the one they'd use more often (\) would be called slash. :sigh: I am also reminded that some texts cross Os rather than 0s. :(

I've always hated the idea of slashing anything. It's so ... uncivilised. How about: / Stroke \ Backstroke

considering the directions. the names could be. North West (NW) Slash or South East(SE) Slash for \ North East (NE) Slash or South West(SW) Slash for / There is no confusion now. From the suggested name we can know the direction and find the correct slash.
