Along those lines ~jwf~

Sometimes my thoughts just flow through my fingers
You often think type before you think
He only posts when he's pished

or

I'm inspired
You're floating away
She's trolleyed.



This though was sparked by the School Reunion thread:

I alert to social nuance
You are competitive
She keeps up with the Joneses


And now,

I'm busy these days
You've got a lot on
She's always late

>> Along those lines ~jwf~ <<

"those lines" = "~~~~~~~" ?

Those are called 'tilde'.
I can only guess whether the plural is tilde or tildes.
You don't see them much anymore.

They are purely decorative. For me, they're supposed to be 'wings'
but they are too small for proper flight.

Google is blind to them.

bigeyes

Woohoo! I made that all about me!
You remain self aware in group discussion.
He is so modest and altruistic.

>> I'm not sure what on earth just happened. <<

I see them everydaybiggrin

tilde in Spanish is also tilde, we use it to show the graphic accent in a word: pájaro. And in our ñ, that mark on the ñ is also called virgulilla.

Tildes is the plural in Spanish, and I guess it´s so in English too.

ok

Yes I've decided it's just not for me, not my kind of thing after all; I wanna make better use of my time and energy.

You tried though, eh, gave it a shot; that's the main thing.

He's a quitter; never follows through; got no stick-to-it-ness, no sense of commitment.
