I just heard a radio commercial and they said visit our special site at oursite.com/special which sounded out was
oursite.com back slash special.

I have always thought of the / slash as a forward slash because it is pointing to the right. What do you think?

Yes, this must be an oversight. / = forward slash \ = back slash. At least that is always what I thought.

At least both of you agree with me. My mom calls that a backslash as well.
