I meant that she brought the joy of tildes to the forum's attention.

I always remember Kody using them. And then everybody started using them randomly and it seemed like mocking and now everybody does it.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Perfect boyfriends are perfect~ :~)

I feel like at first everyone was using the ~ thing mockingly and now they do it all the time.

And this just confuses me.

I've always used my tildes seriously. I like the way they look.

Common use

Commonly in math and other everyday use the tilde can be understood to mean "approximately"; or to imply an estimation. For example, one would type "I had ~30 points." This would mean "I had around 30 points."

My dad told me that you can use it when you're talking about approximating numbers, like if you were to say "We're leaving in about 4 hours", you would be able to say "We're leaving in ~4 hours."



I dunno if that's ~correct though.

Nobody here likes either team. You're either a Man U fan or you don't like soccer/football xD

Ew, Man U. xD

We had a roast for dinner.

What do you have in a roast?
Just wondering if they're similar to our ones.

tilde power.

What is the correct usage of a tilde anyway?

A tilde (from what I remember from school) is used in the "about" form. Like saying "He ate about four apples" but replacing "about" with "~" so you would say "He ate ~4 apples" or something like that. You don't know exactly how many apples he ate, so you're saying about. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how my English teacher told us to use it.

The only time I've seen it away from the internet was in class when my teacher wrote them on the board when he was listing things xD

When somebody asked him he said hypens and bullets were too mainstream bahahahahaha
