IDR = I don't remember! It took me 15 seconds or so
But that was easy. Did it occur to anyone in the English speaking world that w/ is terribly confusing to us foreigners? Is it short for 'with' or 'without'? I think it is for 'with'. But really, is saving 2 characters worth the confusion? It would be more logical if it was a short for 'without', because it is the longer word. And what is short for 'without' anyway?
Secondly, why does almost everyone online use != to mean 'not equal'? How is a person who never saw that before figure out whether it means 'exclusively equal', 'excitedly equal' or 'not equal'? Try typing it into Google - no results!

The reason for "!=" is it's a reasonably close approximation to an equals sign with a strike through it.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
