Excellent list, one suggestion. The back-slashes ( \ ) look a bit odd to my eyes. I recommend changing them to forward slashes ( / ) happy to submit a PR if you would like.

Hi, thanks! I'm open for changing back-slashes to slashes, but I would like to know what's the reason. Is that a personal preference? Or, can it be argued by studies? Or, is that a part of one of the Manual of Style?

I think it’s fair to say that in common English they are literally never used, so to see them at all looks very peculiar indeed and makes the text a little bit less fluid to read.

You're right, didn't know about that and that's an interesting fact. I will make a change then.
