Twiddly Bit

the slash, a most useful character, is for:

  • sticking together two slightly different words, making a new mega-word that contains their common meaning:
    • “it was silly/dumb”
    • “look at the elephant’s drinker/poker/manipulator/picker-upper thingy”
  • denoting several different possible options:
    • “animals walk/run/fly to get around”
  • representing levels in a heirarchy:
    • “go to edit/formatting/paragraph to change the spacing”
    • “the article is at website.com/writing/articles/article1.html”
