    Observations ..

    What does the use of emoticons (those emotive colourful icons within text) tell you about the character of a person?

    Consider frequency, type and usage in relation to the length of text, in your answer.

    I have not used one yet. Some people use them all the time.

    Regards, Phil

    hhhhmmmmm .. interesting .. very interesting .. eloquence and in-depth thought at it’s finest already.

    I see Crashy’s and Mini’s responses are diametrically (sic) opposed. This further enhanses my initial perceptions to the usage of emoticons.

    No apologies guys, I just need some time out from other issues. This could be fun for a change.

    Bear, yes I was a Gyneacologist .. but I’m sure you know what type of day they always expect to have.

    crashy…they take the latest copy of “Myer Winter Collection” to the toilet.. and look at the pictures of woman fully dressed! [:D]

    I like the emoticons, cos it helps to get a idea of the emotion of the text your reading…[:)]

    If I was angry…[:(!] or happy [:D]
    or just thought of the Myer Winter Collection ..[:P][:P]

    haha [:D][:D][:D]

    Hi there,

    I see emoticons as my way of ‘artistically’ dressing up my post. I love colours and also trying to express myself, so anything I can use at my disposal to help me achieve that goal…[:)] the rest is history.

    LuckyPhil, Have you considered that there might be a connection between the use of emoticons and getting a tattoo[?]

    investorxdrawdinair…the reason for that is that people who like colour, art and pictures, like to use colour in their posts.. and like the art on their body too… [:D]

    Arty.
