Damn you Langley. Your talk of abbreviations has sent my autistic brain down a mobius strip rabbit hole where I visualise the whole history of human written culture being reduced to a single character "~".

I am now having to read the first few thousand digits of Pi to reset my brain.

Note: The Tilde character comes from the Latin titulus (“title/inscription”), the word medieval scribes used for a little mark written above letters to show something was omitted.
