 Emoticon
Guide
OK, this page
is more for fun than anything else, but if you send lots of e-mail
or spend any time in chat rooms, you'll probably like this.
Emoticons are
little text representation of emotions. For example, here's a
smiley face (look at it sideways):
:-)
What the heck
are they for? Well, when you talk to someone, they can tell what
you mean by the tone of your voice or the look on your face.
For example, maybe someone says something like, "Why are
you so annoying?"
Now, if they
say it while they're laughing, you know that it's just lighthearted
humor. If they say it with a bit of anger in their voice, you
realize that it's probably time to back off.
Problem is,
when I wrote that, you had no clue which direction I was going
with it. Was I mad or joking?
Well, if I
write it like this, you know:
Why are you
so annoying :-)
See? So, here's
a list of the more common emoticons that you'll run across.
