I think its the backquotes. For a time I thought that

  a :div: b
would look better, but now that I'm used to the backquotes, I'm not so sure.

They're commonly used as such in several programming languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_accent#Use_in_programmin...), though, including Bash, D, Go, Ruby, MySQL, Markdown, etc.

I don’t like them here or there. I don’t like them anywhere.
