Emoticons

Also known as "Smileys", these symbols are used in emails and chat rooms to convey the body language, facial expressions, and vocal inflections we lack in electronic communication. Below is only a sampling, as the number of emoticons is limited only by the characters on your keyboard and your imagination.
Note: most are viewed properly by tilting your head to the left. ;-)
