*shrug* Punctuation has never been fixed on this list (which is as it
should be). People should use what makes the most sense, provided too many
others don't find it too confusing. Personally, I like the / and //
convention; I find it easy to read na and it doesn't get lost among the
apostrophes like double-quotes do. That doesn't mean I'll remember to use
it a whole lot, but it's nice enough.
