interestingly 
echo "~"
results in this
~

while
echo "~"~
results in this
~~
which should be
~/home/joseph

while
echo ~ "~"`
/home/joseph ~~

while
echo ~"~"~
results in
~~~
which is inconcistent, should be
/home/joseph~/home/joseph

also 
echo $HOME"
results in getting
>
which you have to ctrl-c to get the command line back

but if you do this
echo $HOME"~"
you get this
/home/joseph~

There is a lot of inconcistency here.
