This thread is about other languages use of commas and since I am familiar with french (Canadian) that is what I spoke on
Yeah, I don’t think that’s common knowledge. I never knew it was called that until I got into my profession. And I think it’s only called that there because it’s been around since before “forward slash” entered the vernacular.
