The "/" (slash) is very commonly used in military writing. The guy I work with despises it because it is misused so often and introduces imprecision.

If I were to write "Sally/Jane" you wouldn't know for sure if I meant Sally AND Jane, or if I meant Sally OR Jane.

The only proper use of the slash in writing that I know of is "and/or".

Nuff for now. Gotta pack up and go to Charleston for the rest of the week. Leaking pipe under the slab at our house was isolated and disconnected....still have hot and cold water everywhere it is supposed to be but without that leak. Someone, when they built the house, decided to connect the hot water side of both water heaters and (fortunately) that was the section that sprung a leak. It is no longer a part of the water supply system in our house.

The plumbers bill was an eye opener for only about 2 1/2 hours on the job - but I am told that egregious amount is actually reasonable compared to other plumbers.

Maybe instead of striving to be number one at my present job I need to get into the number two business....
