That’s pretty weird. I can’t wait to hear about whatever arcane 
phenomenon might be causing this. I like the movie and its sound 
effects, too!

Incidentally, these are slashes (sometimes called forward slashes): //
And these are backslashes: \\\

It’s a very common confusion, and I’ve never understood how it got 
started. Before computer keyboards, forward slashes were all we had, but 
once there were two kinds of slashes, the old slashes somehow took on 
the new variety’s name for many people.
