SMILEYS or EMOTICONS can add expression to your online writings. They are meant
to soften the impact of words that might be construed as negative or critical.
Used to indicate amusement or irony. Since the other person can't see your "body
language" these may help to express some nuance of communication. Eg, you can say
something critical or downright nasty, followed by a smiley, and it tempers the
impact of what has been written! Here's a few to entertain you:
Goofy smiley >8*) 8-) <8-)
(Means words are not necessarily meant to
sound intelligent!)
Mischievous smiley ;^> ;->
(Means words are intended to be racy or spicy
or sardonic or should NOT be taken seriously.
Take this with a grain of salt!
