Bit of clarification for how I talk on this blog:
When I use the word aro/ace I mean "aromantic and/or asexual" with massive emphasis on the or. For a while now I have been very vocal about disliking the use of the word aroace as an umbrella term, because that word specifically means "aromantic and asexual" and this usage has specifically excluded aromantic people who aren't asexual. People seem to be able to say ace when they mean asexual but tend to say aroace when they mean aromantic, and I want to make sure that I don't exclude an entire part of the aro community, but I also don't want to make my posts too wordy by typing it all out, hence my use of the slash.
This is for when I'm talking about something that applies to both. When it's just one, I specify which one I'm talking about.
