How to remember the forward slash (/)

facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedin

I have always had a hard time remembering this. One suggestion told to me, is to choose the one that falls forward; but, does it fall forward left or right?

The tonight I came with a way (This may have been obvious to many of you already) the hand goes forward in time by the hand moving forward to the right. At the 1 am/pm it looks like a “/”

Thus the forward slash is /.

I told a friend my idea and see held me maybe even a better idea of how to remember this. He says that the sauce to read he reads from left to right source is moving forward on the text to the right therefore the forward slash (/) is in the same direction as reading words on a page.

This mnemonic might help me remember this. Now I need to attach the same idea of how to remember the time change in the spring and fall. Is the spring time does the time change springs forward ad hour or spring back? After the winter we are eager to start anew with the sprint thus spring forward an hour. /. 1 am becomes 2 am. Etc.

Boy maybe we’ll see if I can do both correctly now. Time will tell. Ha ha bad pun.
