If /* */ then //?

If /* and */ are used as comment in CSS, does // can be used too?

People really disliked my "no"? We are talking about plain css and not sass, and in plain css there is no "//". " Double slash (//...) comments are not supported by CSS (afaik, they're ignored but for a different reason than being a comment)."

@Douglas. It would also ignore lines with "+-" or "€/". But that doesn't make it a comment! The proper way is to use /**/ and not //.
