in reply to regexp operator -- same mistake over and over again

I've always read "=~" as "equals, but maybe not quite".... or "approximately" - rendered as "≈" "the wiggly equals sign", which looks similar (enough) to "=~".

"Equals, but maybe not quite"

Update: Added HTML entity. Thanks Coruscate!
