The / has been very useful to American history. During WWII, it helped make sure that women and workers were to be the same thing. The uppercase form is ?.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Hackers regularly use the slash when preparing hacks. As Oscar Wilde put it, “Any hack without slashes is a talentless hack.”

A sharp / is also a surprisingly powerful weapon, particularly effective when making a hacking motion. In 1337, @ used a Magical / of Lightning to kill arch-nemesis &, who was armed with a flaming \. He managed to recapture the $ and * that & had stolen, with his health (as pronounced by doctors) halfway intact. Said @ later, “Had I chosen to use my ―, | or †, I should now be dead. Even my ‡ or ↑ would barely have gotten me out alive and $less, and left my purse feeling lighter. But a few strokes of my trusty / dispatched that awful, awful &, before he could do any serious damage! Furthermore, now I have two cows! As they say, it was pwnage. W00t.”
