As far as I remember, that's not a problem in math:
:= definition ≡ identity = equality ∝ proportionality
But this is how it works:
= definition = identity = equality = proportionality
Big-O notation is a famous example where = is some flavor of (asymptotic) proportionality, and it catches a lot of people out when they first learn about it.
