Based on what you've heard about Elemental so far, what are some things you'd like to see make it into the game? Start new threads in this section of the forums to let us know. We devs scour the forums quite frequently, so don't worry about your post being buried - we'll find it and read it.
Have fun.
≠ is still the correct symbol for not equal. != is just a barely acceptable stand-in. 
Edit: Get yourself an avatar already, psychoak. I keep having to think when seeing your posts. Liek, wth?
Math notation predates programmer notation, and is inherently superior 
Also, I use a mac and thus ≠ is just alt + =. Most sane people prefer macs (a very sad indicator of the state of humanity considering its market share), so most sane people don't have to worry about silly three and four digit alt codes when typing 
But at least all of Wintersong's recent avatars have had his trademark Elemental runes.
Why should I have to think just so you can pretend you live in a pictogram based society? Finding some dumb avatar to add meaningless data to my posts is a waste of effort. I reserve my wasted efforts for things that amuse me.
Or piss me off. Masochism is terrible.
On a less serious note, I'll get an avatar after I bother to add a signature to my posts. I've done that once. I didn't get banned either, it's weird how that never happens.

don't do it psychoak - stay anon!
(bonus points for whoever picks up on the double-entendre there)
God forsaken perverts are seeing innuendo everywhere these days...
pervert? I don't get it...
anon - short for "anonymous"
anon - synonym for "a while"
now that was an obscure reference. anon has got to be at least a century or two out of popular usage.
Double entendre is for risque meanings, niether of those are anything resembling inappropriate.
A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is intended to be understood in either of two ways. In most cases, the first meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so; often risqué, inappropriate, or ironic.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines a double entendre as especially being used to "convey an indelicate meaning". It is often used to express potentially offensive opinions without the risks of explicitly doing so.
A double entendre may exploit puns to convey the second meaning, but puns are more often used in sentences which do not have a second meaning. Double entendres tend to rely more on multiple meanings of words, or different interpretations of the same primary meaning; they often exploit ambiguity and may be used to introduce it deliberately in a text. For example, in the thriller The Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Hannibal Lecter states he is "having an old friend for dinner" — the statement innocently reads as him having invited the friend to share an evening meal, but awareness of the character's cannibalism suggests that he intends to eat the friend as the meal. Another example of this would be the title of the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game", by Richard Connell, in which the title can refer both to a "game" that is most dangerous to play, and the "game" that is most dangerous to hunt.
In some double entendres, the second meaning may require replacing an "innocent" word by a completely dissimilar "risqué" one, this "key" being suggested only by the context, or by the altered sentence being known to the audience.
