Maybe I'm just a dick, but it annoys the diarrhea out of me when I hear someone on TV or the radio giving a web address and they're like "VISIT WWW.WEBSITE.COM BACKSLASH BLAHBLAHBLAH"

Slash = /
Backslash = \

Website = www.website.com/thepreviouscharacterisnotabackslashyoufuckingidiot

CORRECT:
www.goatse.cx/contrib

WRONNNNNNNNNNNG!
www.goatse.cx\contrib

Not that anyone here doesn't already know this, but it still annoys my balls.

True, you have to take the Back out of everything so it doesn't fail.

Luckily using a backslash just gets autocorrected anyway.

Unless someone posts a clickable link with a backslash.
