What to Type when you want to Show Emotion

An Emoticon is a sequence of ordinary characters you can find on your computer keyboard. Emoticons are used in e-mail, text, Facebook and other forms of communication using computers. The most popular emoticons are the smiling faces (smileys or smilies) that people use to say "don't take what I just wrote too seriously". If you don't see that it represents a smiling face, tip your head to the left and look at it again. :-) The colon represents the eyes, the dash represents the nose, and the right parenthesis represent the mouth.  Here's a list of other fun emoticons:
