#i hear in some context ppl are using it wrong as saying “aro/ace” whenthey mean “aroace” or “aro + ace”

You guys realize that the / in "aro/ace" means "and or" right??? It's like... A common shorthand that I thought everyone might've learned in English but I'm thinking maybe not (no worries, you don't know what you don't know!)

The / has always just been short for "and or" so "aro/ace" is read as "aro AND OR ace" not "aroace"

I just see ppl apparently getting confused and claiming ppl of ignoring just aros or just aces but really they are being included they just misunderstanding what the / is for.

#text #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #this isnt trying to attack anyone btw its just to inform!! #i thought it was common knowledge but that doesnt mean it is for everyone #i hear in some context ppl are using it wrong as saying “aro/ace” whenthey mean “aroace” or “aro + ace” #+ is often shorthand for “and” btw!!! #so if ur aro and ace and like to split those up #then you can alway use a + instead of a /!!! #thats ur fun texting fact #anyways hopefully if enough ppl understand this then we'll have less misunderstandings in the future #we're working together guys!!!
