And what about :-) and , you ask?

Because there's no eye contact or voice intonation in e-mail, it's sometimes helpful to punctuate messages with textual emoticons known as "smileys." A smiley can clarify the writer's intention when it might otherwise be misinterpreted.

The semicolon-hyphen-close parenthesis combination at the end of this paragraph is a wink. Tilt your head towards your left shoulder and you'll see a little "smiley face" with its right eye winking. I know it's a pain in the neck, but it's better than making enemies because someone took something you wrote *too* seriously. ;-)

There are literally hundreds of smileys, but here's a short list of the most common ones. Some people use them more than others, but most people use them occasionally.

:-) Smile
;-) Wink
:-D Laughing, big smile
:-( Frown
:-\ Chagrin, puzzlement
:-P Sticking out tongue
:-* Kiss
