OpenStudy (anonymous):
It isn't. Not in purely English writing.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The tilde is generally only used in romance/Latin based languages, and English is a Germanic language.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The posters above are correct. You may use that it to accent in a foreign language, but it is relatively useless in English. A dash may be used to show an interruption, a tilde might be able to be used the same way.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So is it on the keyboard for programming purposes, or a nod to the romantic influence on the English language?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's on the English keyboard because those who write English sometimes need to use foreign words.
