There are too many things that I hope happen in the world in 2018 that are depressing enough and obvious enough not to list. That said, I really need 2018 to bring me
1) a better approximation for “is not equal to” than =! (because really, that should be interpreted as a joyful shout of “EQUALS!” or “is excitement!”)
2) a past tense version of that sign. I need this both for a keyboard and also just for any written communication. “Is not equal to/does not equal” is not the same as “did not equal/was not equal to.”
Please! I’ve been good. Or decent. Though decent =! good.
(See, I really need it. I’m going to buy it in stamp form.)
