I would have deleted your post and sent a PM reminding you not to make one-word or single-image responses. This probably would have caused us to have some sort of silly chat via IM.

isn't it kind of odd to respond to my post with a hypothetical response to the hypothetical post that was never actually made

oh i was so tempted to reply to this with just an up tack, but you're right that people shouldn't do that

I also don't know how to pronounce their name. I assume it's essentially "tild", but I want it to be "tildy" because that'd be fun.
Tildes are used to mean approximately as in "~30 minutes ago" its also used to show that two numbers are similar to each other. When used at the end of a sentence it means basically saying something in a singsongy voice.

Oh I laughed so hard at this. Like, you'd think after three mods, two of which were global mods, pretty much said not to post just-up-tacks, you wouldn't post just an up tack. You'd think.
Til-days are a symbol for the Spanish language; they go over N's to make a "nyuh" sound instead of "nuh." It's pronounced til-day because in Spanish, E is pronounced "ay." It's on american keyboards to make people confused. But it DOES serve a purpose in Math (English math too), as the symbol for I believe either "approximately" or "similar too."

See, the joke was that I'm disobeying the rule you just told us to follow. But I added "tackin' it to the man," So the only actual post rule I broke was not to double post, because my message was more than one word. But the joke doesn't work if I put them in the same post, because then I didn't break the rule you told me to follow.
Petty rebellion as humor!
But I'm pretty sure you understand that, because it made you laugh so hard. It's quite customary for people to commend my amazingousity

I can only response to that with Almondjoys.

But it doesn't automatically add the accent on top of the letter where it goes, so the key isn't even helpful in writing Spanish; it's just there.
I've always used ≈ to indicate "approximately", and they taught us to use ≅ for geometric similarity.

Chrome is not giving me a spell check for congruencey but it is at least helpful enough to tell me that it doesn't think that's how I spell it.
Well how do you spell it Chrome
How bout you stop whining about my spelling and start being a little more helpful.
Chrome just doesn't think congruency is a word, but for the record it's "congruency". To be fair, it's kind of redundant with "congruence", but it should still be in their dictionary.
Maybe that was for congruence and we used something else for similarity. I don't remember; it's been a couple years since geometry and we haven't come back to review most of it.

I can't remember for the life of me what that's called in French because I always just call it "the one in maïs"
Also the most fun name is "circumflex".
