Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?
Hi, English isn't my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/... Back then I was like: "What tf does 'w slash' stand for?" And when I found out I was like "How, why, and is it any intuitive?" But I never dared to ask that until now

Just wait until you encounter morse code abbreviations, some of which are still used in some industries. Like the wonderful X abbreviations, such as:
Wx - weather
Mx - maintainence
Tx/Rx - transmit/receive
Edit: I'm starting to think every industry totally did their own thing with morse abbreviations
Hx, Rx, Tx are history, prescription and treatment in medical jargon
Dx too
Sx for symptoms also
sx makes me think of something else than symptoms
That sounds like a Sx of something
Cx - customer is one I run into daily.
I work in radio electronics. I use these, too.
Lol those are wild
