Emoticons
Emoticons, aka "smilies", are the often used (and even more often abused), character sequences used to represent emotions in email and Internet chat rooms. They range from humorous to obscene to just plain stupid. Below are 200 or so of the more common (and not terribly obscene) emoticons. Use them, abuse them, drive people crazy by seeing how many different ones you can place in one email message, whatever - I don't care.
