Your opinion on our smilies
#8
Well, even if the Internet is serious business, like Pete says, the thing that is missing is eye contact and body language. Smilies are suppose to take their place and define what you mean if what you say can be taken more than one way. An insulting remark can become a friendly jab when followed by 357 You can express your amazement an appreciation by writing a paragraph or two, or just add a Worship, Thumbsup or Applause to a short sentence. You can say something really dumb and let everyone know that you know it is by adding Crazy These shortcuts give you more time to be serious, but then, where's the fun in doing that? :?: Icon_lol
