Thanks guys.
But what does it mean in pratical terms of constructing or pairing
differently shaped slits. Is there anything I can do or avoid to do in
order to eliminate or diffuse the problem?
Regards,
Brigitte.

Not just out of phase but 180 degrees from each other.  This -perhaps- are
regions where light (wave) diffracted by one slit is at its maximum peak
(+)
and light (wave) diffracted by the other slit not just overlaps the former
but happens to be at its lowest peak (-), the net effect is darkness, light
from one slit canceling out with light from the other slit, weird, eh?
This
BTW, is called Destructive Interference.
