The Forward Slash


It has become fashionable in certain circles to describe oneself as having more than one career - and to insert the "forward slash" i.e. / - as outlined in Sunday's NYTimes style section. This not necessarily because you need two jobs to pay the rent. Consider these combinations: Forensic Psychiatrist/D.J. - Lawyer/Actor/Producer - Life Coach/Writer/Singer - you get the idea. This takes multi-tasking to a new height. I wonder if I might get by with Blogger/Punster/Limericist but wouldn't want to wear out that "forward slash" on the keyboard.
