it's a foward slash!

[nageov3t]

does it annoy anyone else when people say "backslash" when refering to websites?

back slash = \
foward slash = /

i HATE this.. no one knows what slash to use (i work IT support) and always need to reference computer names and have ppl connect to them... i say "the slash above the enter key" heh... since everyone has the same keyboard, makes life a lot easier.

I hate when people say mash instead of click. And cut it off instead of turn it off. And let's not get into the whole left click vs right click

click on start

DO WHAT NOWWWWWWW?


click on my computer

HOW CAN I CLICK ON YOUR COMPUTER

I often hear people say backslash several times when they are referring to a website.
