No seriously:

in the Netherlands we call it
'German komma'

'vertical line' is way too tame. Think I'll use 'German komma' for now...
So how come the - hyphen - got a decent name then? From now on I'll call it the 'horizontal line'.
And not forgetting the \ 'diagonals' /
Awww.

(Oct 24 05, 01:57)stewardez said it's what it is called here, so you would have to look for it in Dutch.

note: it's how a slash is called here, not this vertical line.

hello J, how you been? :)
- stewardez0
komma or comma
hey Crouwel, back again? a slash isn't called a german komma... it's called a slash
: )
