Does anyone besides me bristle at the term
"forward slash?" In my day
(although I'm under fifty), we called them slash and backslash. The M$
culture seems to encourage this redundant advective as normal parlance.
I encourage it, after hearing people say "Aitch tee tee pee, colon,
backslash, backslash, ...."

Arise, you prisoners of Windows / Arise, you slaves of Redmond, Wash,
The day and hour soon are coming / When all the IT folks say "Gosh!"
It isn't from a clever lawsuit / That Windowsland will finally fall,
But thousands writing open source code / Like mice who nibble through a wall.
