I'm sorry if it is funny to you

/ = "slash"
- = "dash" or "hyphen"
* = "asterisk"
> = "greater than"
< = "less than"
{ = "left brace"
} = "right brace"
[ = "left bracket"
] = "right bracket"
( = "left parentheses"
) = "right parentheses"

( = "left parentheses"
) = "right parentheses"
Parenthesis because -es is the plural. It's from the Greek.

Good point. I must be tired.

Do you differentiate between forward slash and back slash?

When I want to remember which is forward and which is back, I think of a car going up a hill from left to right. As it approaches a FORWARD Slash / it would be going uphill or forward. But in order to go up a back slash \ it would have to be coming from the other side and BACKUP the hill.

I know its silly but it helps.

In computer OS systems, the position of the slash will be back slash for addresses you put in the browser (http:\\here\page1) and forward slash for paths to folders in directories (C:/my documents/my pictures). In the command prompt (dos window), you can type a path to a program, and add a space then a backslash to add what's called switches that do different things depending on the command your using (format c: \u).f
