Emoticons


Contributed By: Julinda Adams

A while back I had an off-list exchange with Doc about my e-mail address, and the subject of emoticons and other expressions came up. He said that it was important to inject expressions into e-mail so people will understand the intent of certain comments. DOC MUST BE PSYCHIC, because right after that somebody got offended at somebody else's response to their post when the responder intended the response to be sarcastic humor (or so he said ; ) ).
Here are some emoticons from a Dave Barry article. (There are a couple I had to eliminate because they involved symbols that aren't on a normal keyboard.) Use these where appropriate to indicate your emotional state. Hope it's not too long.
: ) happy person
: ( sad person
:-) happy person with a nose
:-( sad person with a nose

:-D person laughing
