[net.lang.c] "\"

Just a quick simple question:

How do you spell "\"?

Is it "Backslash", "Back slash", or "Back-slash"?

Or none of the above?

Please mail your reply, don't post, I won't read it.

Thanks in advance,

I call it "Bash" (pronounced "BAAAAAASH!").  Rhymes with / ("Slash"),
- ("Dash"), and # ("Hash").

Is it time for another round of "terminal madness"?  See you in net.misc!
