I wonder if it's dyslexia-adjacent. Dyslexic people famously have particular difficulty distinguishing rotated and reflected letterforms.

- hinkley 1y agoCould be. The frequency is such that it could be dyslexics. It's not all the time, but it's a steady rate of incidence.
- quesera 1y agoI think in the 90's it was just people repeating a pattern they learned from Windows/DOS. It used to grate on my nerves to hear people say, e.g. "H T T P colon backslash backslash yahoo dot com". But I think they always typed forward slash, like they knew the correct slash to use based on the context, but somehow always spoke it in DOSish.
