Chacham's Journal: Typo: Slashdot: Son of SATAN? Weighing Security Software's R

Solidus full-stop did it again in Son of SATAN? Weighing Security Software's Risks. A typo any spellchecker would have caught.

Question

[johndiii]

What do you mean by the reference "Solidus full-stop"? Just occurred to me that since a period is a full-stop, the "solidus" might refer to the slash. Is this correct?

It seems to me that most typos around here are lost in the sea of poor grammar and strange phrasing. :-)

Yes.

The "forward-slash" is the more recent name for the solidus.
