“Oh, no question, I’ve been sending and receiving them more often.” or "...a well-planted smiley face can take the edge off and avoid misunderstanding...they have saved me some grief from misconstrued tone many times.” or “They’re part of the degradation of writing skills — grammar, syntax, sentence structure, even penmanship — that come with digital technology." or "I am deeply offended by them...Are your words not enough? To use a little picture with sunglasses on it to let you know how you’re feeling is beyond ridiculous.” If You’re Happy and You Know It, Must I Know, Too? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/fashi ... rss&src=ig |

I've never been a fan, especially in e-mails. I've come to see a need for them on here though in order to clarify when I'm joking sometimes. And I have to say the ones on here are way cooler than stuff like

I avoid using them. Just think they're very silly, to put it lightly. There is the sarcasm issue but most of the time my sarcasm tends to be exceedingly overt. |

I don't like to use them, but I don't mind others using them. Here I prefer the quick reply box which does not have them as an option. My dry style goes against the use of them anyway, but there is a need for them considering how dry humor and sarcasm does not always translate well on the i-net. I would enjoy seeing emoticons used in news reports, speeches, or media/post-game conferences. Eventually nobody would need to show emotion through facial expressions. They could simply talk and hold their stupid phone up to show the proper emoticon, or have the stupid phone speak and show the emoticon. That's progress! |

There's a new way to pick up chicks.... walk up completely straight-faced, and say "hey", then hold up a cell phone with a wink face on it (originally I thought a pic of your cock, but that's sexual harassment or some bullshit, we shuld probably ask Jay about that). |
