Japanese Emoticons

Yes they may be puerile but I find it amazing the amount of information you can emote in just a couple of bytes. I look at these and txt msg spk (not to be confused with l33t sp3ak)and wonder what trade offs are in the current evolution of language? Are we giving up fidelity for speed or is it just an improvment and I'm just resistant to change?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
