V Terms
Virgule Many falsely feel that this is the
name for the / character, but it more correctly means comma or comma shape.
The / is better called a slash or backslash, shilling mark, separatrix or
a solidus.
W Terms
Widow Lonely words or letters on a line by
themselves at the end of a paragraph. Best to rebreak the lines and avoid
this sadness.
Work and Tumble In printing (or page layout)
this means setting up a job so that it prints on one side, then turns over
top to bottom and prints on the other. Not the same as work and turn, where
the sheet is flipped from side to side. Either way you get two-up of what
you're printing.
X Terms
X-height What it says-the height of the
lowercase x.
