Emoticons - 06-09-05

Yet again the English language is under assault from the lingual cess-pit that is the Internet

People using these bloody bollocks emoticons to convey meaning.

If you mean something as friendly, don't put a fucking smiley face on it, craft your statement with more precision and care.

Stop being fucking lazy.

I hate you (smiley face) does not have as much impact as a friend who can say they hate you and you can tell from the context they are joking.

Stop being so frigging stupid.......(smiley face)

Neon


"I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."

Sir Thomas More

Having a bad day, Neon?


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

I understand what you're saying, but the internet is a confusing place sometimes, and it's easier to convey meaning with a smiley or whatever when, for instance, you're being sarcastic. Sarcasm rarely comes across as it's intended in text unless you know the person really well.

So bollocks to you

Emoting is stupid.
Everyone knows you're cool when you sit people down and say,
"I feel very sad at this moment in time".

With the exception of that emotion.
That emotion definitely needs an emoticon.

someone needs to resize their signature and the other needs to change it.

Yeah, neonwraith does have a really stupid signature.
And I don't know why you spoke in third person about yourself.

You just deleted it, that's cheating.
You didn't even take out the alignment code you idiotface.

You're supposed to be an admin, how can you be so sloppy?
