Can you image life without the :-)? I don’t know if I could. I use it on my computer, my phone, even hand writing messages, if anyone does that anymore. Twenty-five years ago the genius of professor Scott E. Fahlman changed email communitcation forever. Imagine how many times you would have upset someone had it not been for the little :-). It is hard to let people know you are joking through email and sometimes that is the root of people’s feelings getting hurt. But tack on or even and the message is clear, “I am joking with you don’t get your panties in a wad.”
