Angry Emoticons

In WordPress, :-x/:x represent angry smiley -> 😡
In Yahoo, X-(/X( represent angry smiley ->
In Yahoo, :x/:-x represent love-struck smiley ->

Imagine typing [:-x] in Yahoo instead of X( for an angry smiley! 😐

Why isn’t a standard symbol being used everywhere? It’s so confusing 🙁

    because I guess anger comes in many forms 🙂 ?

    PS: May I take it that you still have not gotten the boredom out of your system ;)?

    Priya,
    🙂

    Adiya,
    Smiley Markup Language? I didn’t know that.

    Arvind,
    Yeah indeed it’s very simple 😛
    But I don’t like this smiley: 😮 -> Seems as though it’s a yawning smiley instead of surprise!!
    LOL! I hope that wasn’t an intentional mistake 😉

    Sathej,
    I see

    Sami,
    I was expecting some comment like this 🙂
    :O Exactly a similar post!!
    Btw, do you know that crib doesn’t mean whining? Reading the word in your comment got reminded me of Puranjoy’s post: http://puranjoy.blogspot.com/2008/01/on-crib.html

    Arun,
    LOL!
    >May I take it that you still have not gotten the boredom out of your system ;)?
    Yes 🙂 It hasn’t gone completely

    Yieks!! Is it that difficult. Yahoo provides a tray from where you can take the smilies. I guess its more tough in wordpress, where you have to remember the keys. 🙂

    Amit,
    Yes it is indeed difficult since I generally don’t use the smiley tray

    Aravind,
