emoticons

[emmerson2]

Evening Mr Moddy.Recent correspondence has brought up the subject of making your feelings known when posting ie: joking, serious, etc.This can be done on other forums by the use of "emoticons" Is there any chance we could have them on our forum?

Don't push you luck or you will end up with a grumpy one.

Picked up a free envelope in Tesco's today encouraging the stopping of smoking. Opened it up and lo and behold there was a large page of "stick on" emoticons. Therefore Emmerson should you wish for these little faces to appear on your posting visit Tesco pick up a free envelope and every time you make a posting stick one on your monitor - you will then be able to see your emotions straight away.

 

[emmerson2]

Colin, really! There's no room on my screen for emoticons. It's covered in Tipex!!

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Emmerson if you were to stick these emoticons over the Tippex it would have a two fold effect:

Initially it would brighten your day/evening and secondly it would hide all you errors and therefore would make you feel less embarressed when someone is looking over your shoulder.

..... also he wouldn't be able to see any typed errors hence giving him the "feel good factor" :O)

 

[emmerson2]

EXCUSE ME! Who said that the tipex was mine? There are two of us use this computer, you know!(and she's out at the moment!)

I know this sounds a daft question but:

How do you pronounce 'emoticon'? what does it rhyme with? Is it the same as 'emotion'?

[Lol1]

You can split the word "emoticon" into 4 parts to answer that.

EMO, as in a person with a cold, trying to say Nemo, Lord and master of the seas.

T, as in a drink with jam and bread.

I, as in, ee that pint was grand.

CON, as in Gordon Brown.
