EMOTICONS
1393.gif - 1578 Bytes

Emoticons are glyphs using ASCII text characters to express the emotions/spirit of the words/sentences used. In normal conversations whether face-to-face or over the telephone, we could discern the emotion of the other party by the tone of their voice. This is impossible over a written medium like the e-mail. Thus, emoticons were invented to convey these feelings.

Example:
Go break a leg. :-)
Wish I could make it. :-(
