MINIONS ASSEMBLE!

Now, how often have you stared at your computer keyboard, only to see the ~ mark above the
hash sign? How often have YOU wondered what it meant? Well, folks, I'm here to tell you
about the ~ sign, more often know as a tilde OR swung dash. Or the wave dash.

First off, you can make some pretty awesome icons with it. Par example, '~'. @~@. ETC
It has diacritical uses, which is basically when you put a character over a letter to change its pronunciation.
It can be used between two numbers (1~4) to indicate a range rather then subtraction.
It can be used like so ~3 to indicate three or less, or 80~ to indicate 80 or more.
In Japanese, the wave dash is also used to separate a title and a subtitle in the same line.
Also in Japanese, it can be used to denote sarcasm, or as in Eastern Asia it can symbolise the extension of a final syllable. For example, instead of writing NOOOOOOO you would write NO~.
In mathematics, the tilde, sometimes pronounced “twiddle”, is often used to denote an equivalence relation between two objects. Thus “x ~ y” means “x is equivalent to y”.
In written mathematical logic, it can mean negation, like ~9 means not 9.

I feel that is enough info for the young jellyfish. I would like to say that all of the informaiton above is derived from wikipedia, and it is reliable. Are you happy now Dusmo? ^^
