What's the origin of this symbol? "=/="

Draw an equal sign and put a slash through it. There's your origin.

Oh. That's...kind of disappointing 🙁. I was kinda hoping it was from some obscure programming language I hadn't heard of.

The origin is from 5th grade.
 
Isn't that the standard usage of hypothesis testing? So statistics? Seems like I've seen it used in stats classes....

Beats me... it's self-explanatory though, maybe that's the origin, it's just logical....
 
In math it can be used as A ? B, which basically means A is not equal to B. That's the only way I've seen it used as.
 
Yes, well, when it's written like "=/=" and you're someone that's used to looking at programming language operators, things that should be obvious to any idiot become not so obvious. That's my excuse and I stick by it 😛.

You knew full well what he meant. Get that Louisville Slugger sized stick out of your ass.

Yeah that is really shocking...

Why don't you try searching "=" and "/" as well?
