EMOTICONS

Emoticons enable online users to get in the kind of facial expressions and inflections that used in normal conversation.

//How do emoticons work? Tilt your head to the left and take a look on this one:

: - )
Do you see a smiley face with a long nose? A comment or joke followed by a smiley face is often a good way to ensure that it was taken in good humor. Hace sad news? Show it while you tell it : -( Feeling teary eyed? :' ) Frowning at your chat-companion's last comment? Show that as well :-/ Stick your tongue out at someone :-P Or pucker up for a kiss :-*

Emoticons are good for more than just facial expression, though. You can send hughs (0) or { {} } And you can send roses. @- - -^- - - - Pacing <w> before your words signifies a whisper, and <g> a grin.//
