Monday or Friday?

Who interprets a slash as “through”? Does M/W/F mean Monday through Wednesday through Friday then?

I agree, to me it reads "monday and/or friday"

Meh.

Context tells you when a "." means 'end of sentence' and 'decimal point.'

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 26 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Context holds that you use a dash to mean “through” and a slash to mean “or” here.

b/w can mean black and white or between depending on context.
