+## This \c will be a regular 'c' in this context.
+
+### Problematic code:
+
+    echo Yay \o/
+
+or
+
+    \git status
+
+### Correct code:
+
+    echo 'Yay \o/'
+
+or
+
+    command git status
+
+### Rationale:
+
+Escaping something that doesn't need escaping sometimes indicates a bug.
+
+If the backslash was supposed to be literal, single quote it.
+
+If the purpose is to run an external command rather than an alias, prefer `command`. 
+
+### Contraindications
+
+If you have an alias and a function (as opposed to an external command), you can either ignore this message or use `"name"` instead of `\name` to quiet ShellCheck.
