The way I remember it is to think of the slash as a little person facing to the right (the direction that text flows). Is the person leaning forward or backward

The way I remember it is to think of the slash as a little person facing to the right (the direction that text flows). Is the person leaning forward or backward?
- __float 7y agoHow often do you use this device? I feel like I hardly understand the idea, because a / and \ is just as distinct as a b and a p. We don't make mnemonics for those?
- inimino 7y agoNaturally, the occurrence rate of b and p in people's experience, as well as the circumstances in which they are semantically distinct, are also relevant...
- Thorrez 7y agoYeah, honestly not very often. Mostly they're second nature to me. I mainly just think of it when there's a topic of / vs \ like in this thread.
