Too many applications provide their own emoticons. This is not acceptable. When I type the following characters this is what I mean.
:)
– This made me smile.:D
– This really made me smile. My mouth is open. Please don't throw things at it.:E
– E is one better than D, therefore I just smiled so hard that my face broke.;)
– I said something cheeky and hilarious.:P
– I said something that probably wasn't serious.
