Forward Slash

Hi Mr Paul,

What are the usages or applications of a forward slash (/)?
Is forward slash (/) a formal punctuation mark?
Is it correct to put a space before and after a forward slash?

Thanks!

Re: Forward Slash

I'd avoid using it wherever possible in formal style, except in technical writing and for Internet URLs.

Here's a link to Wikipedia's article on punctuation, which you may find helpful:
