From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
virgule "Virgule" (or rather, Latin "virgula", meaning "little rod" or, vividly enough, "little penis") was the name of a punctuation character shaped like a small {slash} and used in the Latin writing system much like a modern {comma} -- hence the ambiguity of this term in modern English. Compare French "virgule" and Italian "virgola", meaning "comma" (not "slash"); Italian "doppia virgola" and "virgoletta", both meaning "{double quote}". (1997-04-08) |
