Serious question

I never know which of these is the forward and which one is the backward.

 

/ = ?

 

\ = ?

/ = forward slash

 

\ = back slash

 

It's whichever direction the top of the character is pointing.

That's the key. Thanks.

 

Just one of those things that perpetually bugs the fock out of me.

I can appreciate that. There's certain things that you just take for granted.

 

For me it's the Right and Left Click. When I'm instructing somebody, I always say "click" here or there. To me, it's just 2nd nature - it could mean right or left click, single or double click. Those are just things I take for granted. But, if I try really hard, I can remember a time when it wasn't and I try to be more clear/patient the next time.

 

The same goes for upload and download. I'm sure there's a real difference there somewhere, but to me, the words are pretty much synonymous. I mean, you go through the same steps regardless.

it's true. Some people can't spell, some people can't add, some people can't speak English.

 

20 years of computer use and I finally wanted to know which was the back slash? WTF, give me a break people.
