Hi all,

Rightly or wrongly, I believe some people take this to mean a fraction
typeset with a solidus or slash instead of a horizontal bar.

Sorry, I don't have references handy at the moment.

* Does anyone out there know if the term "vulgar," as related to fractions, is
* a generic term meaning "a fractional value represented in
* numerator/denominator mode" (as opposed to decimal representation), or does
* it refer specifically to em fractions (as opposed to en fractions)? Thanks
* in advance.
