Soiled Bargains: A more in-depth (and very technical, I suppose) explanation of pwd itself and ~. Too much "directory"s.

		+	Like more consumer-centric operating systems, most Unix-like systems use [[Wikipedia:User (computing)\|user accounts]], and give them their own personal directory. This folder is called the "home directory" on such systems, and POSIX uses <code>~</code> (a tilde) as a shorthand to use when inputting a directory. A username can follow this <code>~</code>, pointing to said user's directory (for example, <code>~peasantsquest/Mountain Pass</code> points to the "Mountain Pass" folder in the home directory of the user "peasantsquest"). <!--Unrelated, but something to mention nonetheless...?-->However, in the real world, the <code>~</code> is primarily used by itself (that is, without a user name following it) to refer to the current user's home directory, as accessing another user's home directory is restricted or denied.
