That is, the '/' in, "and/or", "doctor/professor", or "him/her".

Me, I've always held that you *don't* pronounce it at all, but say the word as if it was hyphenated: "and-or", etc., because you don't pronounce commas, hyphens, apostrophes or parentheses, do you?

A friend of mine disagrees, saying that is should be pronounced as "slash" to avoid ambiguity with things such as the "red/green hat". Seeing as how the hat is NOT red-green, but either red or green, some clarification should be made. There I agree, but in that situation, you should say "or" for the slash, or something.

So, what's right?

What started out as a great little expression has turned into a morbidly-overused juggernaut of impossible dimensions.

I walked down the street. lol
I shut the door. lol
I stuck a hot poker in my eye because I just couln't take it anymore! lol

Am I alone in this perception? Who else has been lol'd once too often?

I'm not looking for a synonym. I'm just wondering if a female wizard has her own term or if she would simply be called a wizard. (I have a female co-worker who does her job very quickly, and I'm want to know how to describe her.) Thanks in advance.
