i never used to do these --> :)
ever..

since i've been on xlt theyve crept into my 'vocabulary' as
a shorthand means of expressing positive sentiments to you
all..

i blame you for this distressing increase in illiteracy.
but i cant help loving you.. :)

that is all.

they are good because you can type

and it has a totally different response to

smilies are needed in this shitty day and age.

I used to use smileys, but I've gotten to hardened and jaded
now. I'm an internet vet, I don't do shit like that.

i long to be like you.

oh, and i hate anacronisms of sentences - you're right
mr.mclovely - this is neither aol, nor the military.

and, just to clear it up.. i wasn't being that serious about
the smileys. so long as theyre not overused i couldnt care
less.

good night my friends.

if you're at all literate, you shouldn't have to use
emoticons to lend zest to your writing.

Let's not forget that the literacy level across the board is
a bit like a V. Snares track viewed in Wavelab: up and down
like a mad bugger. So if those of us capable of expressing
ourselves with a bit of intelligence could well come over as
being either stuck up their own arses or incomprehensible.
Which they're not.

Smileys are just an additional form of expression in
text. I would rather go   :P    than say "I am sticking
my tongue out at you in a manner which implies jovial humour
with a hint of good-natured ridicule and an easy chuckle"

What I can't stand is this internet craze of typing "teh"
and adding "izzle" into every word.
And typing "biyotch" instead of "bitch".
And people who say "shrooms". They're fucking
mushrooms
! It's not hard to press two extra bastard
keys!
And the so-called "l33t" speakers who substitute numbers for
letters. Cos we all know that big brother Microsoft is dead
keen on intercepting our controversial transmissions, and
they'll never be able to with that ingenious code.
And those who pronounce the "d" in Wednesday. Twats.
And what the fuck does "meh" mean anyway?
I also hate anyone who goes "parp parp pa pa pa
paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp PA!" along to Pearl and Dean.

And, finally in this rant, I'll be hating anyone who thinks
it's funny to say any of these things-I-hate to me in a
reply, under the misguided preconception that's its
amusing.

Don't correct any spelling or grammar mistakes.

when i get around to writing my "Rules To the Internet", the
concept of the stupid text face thing will be included in
it.

I did use these for a little while. But I decided I should
be articulate enough that I don't need them.
