smileys, caps, exclamations

Ok, I have nothing against these things, it just bothers me a teensy bit when people use them too much. Like for example:

When you disagree instead of going
NO!!!! That will TOTALLY mess things up!! :noway:

You could just go
No, that wouldn't work.

Or instead of...

YES!!! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: I love asian dramas:smooched: :love: :heart:

You COULD just say
I love asian dramas!! :heart:

Nomsayin peeps?

    I much prefer emoticons than text speak. Know what I am saying people?

    I agree. Emoticons can be cute, but extreme emoticon abuse is silly and irritating.

    First of all, I think this thread is really cute! :flowerforyou: :heart: :smooched: :love: :drinker: :happy:

    But, I have to admit that it really makes me want to use the emoticons. :tongue: :wink: :laugh: :glasses: :smokin: :bigsmile:

    I didn't feel angry, sad, embarrassed, sick, or tired. :mad: :explode: :angry: :grumble: :noway: :devil: :ohwell: :huh: :indifferent: :frown: :brokenheart: :cry: :sad: :embarassed: :blushing: :sick: :yawn:

    Dang, it's another "WHY IS EVERYONE SO MEEEAAAAAANNN?!?!" thread, cleverly disguised as a Grammar Nazi thread. This is worse than being Rickrolled.
