      Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers

               preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
               laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
               preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
               down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the
               preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid

      Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
               often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay

               preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
               laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
               preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
               down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   tilde
  
      "~" {ASCII} character 126.
  
      Common names are: {ITU-T}: tilde; squiggle; {twiddle}; not.
      Rare: approx; wiggle; {swung dash}; enyay; {INTERCAL}: sqiggle
      (sic).
  
      Used as {C}'s prefix {bitwise negation} {operator}; and in
      {Unix} {csh}, {GNU Emacs}, and elsewhere, to stand for the
      current user's {home directory}, or, when prefixed to a {login
      name}, for the given user's home directory.
  
      The "swung dash" or "approximation" sign is not quite the same
      as {tilde} in typeset material but the ASCII tilde serves for
      both (compare {angle brackets}).
  
      [Has anyone else heard this called "tidal" (as in wave)?]
