The Smiley

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

What do thnk of an average smiley, not any of you deviations like sad smleys but the original smiley?

 

[Cherry Cola]

You mean this: ""?

He's a smug ****. I hate that asshole. Stole my house, he did!

 

[AkJay]

Meh, it gets annoying after being overused by so many teen girls, but whatever.

Considering that facial expressions and tone of voice can not be transmitted via text, they can actually be quite useful. I have no objections to them.

I like having an ambiguous tone et cetera though, so I tend not to use them.

 

[WrongSprite]

Smileys are good, you get to convey emotion.

 

[Pimppeter2]

He stole my girlfriend!

 

[similar.squirrel]

I don't like it. Prefer the much slicker-looking '=]' variant.

Not had much use for the standard emoticon, maybe after a sentence which could be read as aggressive or something but there's usually a better one.

It's funny how originally denoted a joke, but I wouldn't read it that way nowadays. I'd tend to use or for a joke.

You too?
That bastard!

I happen to like teen girls, thankyouverymuch, its pretty much the only social group I get along with (oh yes, I feel like a pimp right now)

OT: its ok, I prefer "" though, suits my style better.

The problem is that most of my IM/Steam messages have a in them, else I sound like a dick.

On a side note, the C: and D: drives are the happiest and saddest drives in existance

 

[NotAPie]

He took my job!

[number2301]

[ace_of_something]

What is this bean juice? Is all I can think of.

 

[Nwabudike Morgan]

A Lexus PR representative used one in a statement sent out to the press.

Yes, I'm fucking serious.

Wasn't it created in Seattle? If so, then, WOOT WASHINGTON!

OT: Idk, I think that it actually changed art in its own way. It gave a little symbol that many graphic designers use today.

 

[Grayjack]

I like the smiley. It helps convey happiness through text.

 

[ace_of_something]

'Harvey Ball' is the other one that sticks in my head. That's what I think of the smiley.
