Virgule: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:55, 14 September 2016

The slash ( / ), also known as the virgule, has several uses, most of which (sayeth the punctuation guide) should be avoided in formal writing.

Never, ever, employ it to mean “or”. If you need to convey the expression, use it.

Never, ever, ever use the expression and/or.
