Emoticon strangeness
« on: July 06, 2007, 08:37:05 AM »
I just appended a new thingy to my sig and wrote the word "smile". Instead of the word the smiley emoticon appeared! Most odd.

Yea it does. I simply typed in the werd confused with the two dotty things after it and there you go!
Just type in the werd that appears under the emoticon when you preview your post...EXACTLY as it appears, and it should trandform it automatically for you.
Amazin' in'it?

smile

smile:

As Growler said, it depends on the two dotty things after the word. It must be your good grammar Nick.

Colons or semi colons or summat...I dunno. ::)
I always thought they were something to do with your bowels or other fiddly slimey inner bits and giblets tbh. sick2:

Good grammer gets you into trouble anyway imo.
Just say it in GROWLER language, and you won't go wrong...like. ;)

It's an age thing. The older you are the more you get preoccupied by health matters.  sad24:

No offence taken...at all! I'm the first to admit that my knowledge on these matters is sadly lacking, but hey ho, I'm learning thanks to this and other forums. Even my spelling's improved 10x over the last 4 years after being constantly pulled up by some of our more learned friends.
Mrs GROWLER insists I spend and waste so much time on this thing. I keep telling eher NO, it's an education in more ways than one, and I AM right.

It's character that counts anyway, not where you stick yer apostrophy. ;)

You carry on watching Corrie my little petal. ::)

Good luck next week Uncle. Not had that part of my anatomy checked out...YET, but had various other internal inspection unpleasantries in my time. sick2:
