I never use tildes to mean anything other than approximately in serious or otherwise important textual things. It's ~your~ turn to clean up the cat puke, mwuahahaha Hey did u no im a ~young lady~ according to the weird dude in the grocery store alley Omg I'm so ~~~hungry~~~ feed meeeee ~seven pizzas I like to imagine that the tildes are me making noodly arms when I say a word. If I use it like in my first sentence, with a tilde before AND after a word or phrase, and especially if used in excess, I mean it to convey a sense of fascetious emphasis. They are beneficial when writing sanskrit words in English or when writing language such as French which have various accents. You also can use TeX markup to add superscripts, subscripts, and modify the text type and color. To obtain a Greek letter in your abstract, type a backslash () followed by the name of the letter. to write out the entire sentence at every occurrence of each statement.

I also will use it with things that aren't numbers that I'm still approximating, as in, "I can't believe I already need to start working on my ~Christmas gift projects." ( because I don't do xmas myself and almost nobody I gift things to celebrates it either but it is still an excuse for presents) Accents are widely used to denote the alphabet with its desired sound. You can add text to a chart that includes Greek letters and special characters using TeX markup. The arithmetic subtraction symbol () and tilde () are also used to indicate. If used as a prefix, with no "closing" tilde, I still mean approximately, as in your example.

I like to use tildes a ~lot~ in casual online communication.
