What is a "slash"?
A slash (/) is a punctuation mark used to indicate a choice between two or more options, separate items, or show a relationship between words. It is often used in expressions like "and/or" to suggest that either option may apply. For example, in the phrase "Please bring your pen/pencil," the slash indicates that either item is acceptable. Slashes are also used in dates, such as "12/31/2024," or to separate lines of poetry when quoted in a single line. By providing clarity and brevity, slashes enhance the efficiency of written communication.
Example
The recipe called for 1/2 cup of sugar, with the slash representing a fraction.
04
вирубка, чистка лісу
an open tract of land in a forest that is strewn with debris from logging (or fire or wind)
