If the tilde refers to "the user's home folder", can you explain the following
without referring to the manpage? 

anon@lowtide:~$ echo ~       # OK, that's my home directory
/home/anon
anon@lowtide:~$ echo ~anon   # why is this not /home/anonanon?
/home/anon
anon@lowtide:~$ echo ~anona  # why is this not /home/anonanona?
~anona
anon@lowtide:~$ echo ~root   # why is this not /home/anonroot?
/root
anon@lowtide:~$
