This is only tangentially related but I've noticed an increase in people saying backslash instead of slash when speaking an internet address aloud. I think many more people struggle with / vs \ than > vs <.

Just to note, backslash or forward slash refers to the side the slash falls to.

I remember it because I'm old and was into computers before the internet. Local drive was backslash "" as a directory separator and online it was slash "/".
