What does w/ mean?

    Oh, okay. I genuinely thought it meant 'without'. Thanks for clearing up the confusion. (I wonder if it was really worth trying to save those two letters?)

      It's more a stylistic thing / linguistic tic than about the savings in characters. Without would be "w/o". Like, "I'm going to the dance, w/ or w/o you." Or imagine an album titled "W/ or w/o you". Has a nice look to it. Also, check out the Google results for "w/ or w/o you". Impressive expansion on the part of Google. (Edit: I originally said it saved three letters, but of course, that was me forgetting to count / as a letter. :)
