First, there's just the plain smiley (colon, right parenthesis)
:)
Simple and fun. Great as a short finishing symbol after a thought or invitation, and one that almost everyone can understand. Smiles are universal, after all. Let's look at some imaginative noses, just to put some sparkle on that smiley.
Here's a pointy nose, pointing up, using the caret
:^)
Good times. We can try other noses, like the clown nose, for more lighthearted fun
:o)
... and for times that require a more agrarian spring or harvest-time spirit, the pig nose
:@)
It's hard to make gender-appropriate festive smileys, but you can make a great halloween smiley of any nose style by putting a 'less-than-pipe) witch hat on top, like this
<|:^)
As long as we want to play with hats, "greater-than" beards can make a charming addition to the more conventional smiley, shown here with a caret nose
<|:^)>
or maybe a fedora
<]:^)>
or maybe a cowboy hat for a western rodeo touch, but be careful, because it might look like devilish eyebrows if the context isn't quite right
<}:^)>
It's fun when you can put a sexy goatee on your smiley, too, using a right-bracket
<|:^)}
And don't forget the semicolon wink for that cheeky touch!
<|;^)}
Be creative, too. The person that gets your email will appreciate it. Try using a happy-tongue mouth from capital p, to add a saucy text-based raspberry
<|:^P}
That's just a start. Grab some sprinkles and your glue gun and a little fun and spirit and you can make your own smileys for any occasion.
Good times.

hahah he does have a point though. though linux is still small in the desktop world, it's used to run alot of commercial and business tech and all the companies mentioned above i'm sure use it to some extent.

x = P + (P x M oz.) + 2B + E *3 + SB where SB > 5.
P equals the number of pancakes in a stack
M equals Maple Syrup
B equals Butter Pats
E equals Eggs (sunnyside up)
SB equals a Side of Bacon
Any stack of Pancakes is to be covered in a number of ounces of warm Maple Syrup equal to the number of Pancakes plus 2 Pats of Butter plus Three Eggs Sunnyside Up, with a Side of Bacon of no less than 6 rashers of Bacon.
Using this formula, you will have a crazy delicious breakfast and be able to have a rad day sledding and throwing snowballs, providing there is adequate snow to shut down the schools and permit reindeer games.

I will kindly... provide the correction..
Whereby;
X = n[(P + MP) + B + E + Hb] + [(Sb^n+1) +(Sb)]
=> Whereby
n is a function of number of times ordered based on the Munchies Theorem
Hb Equals a Side Hash Browns
And SB, is a Side of Bacon as function of n whereas Sb>2 with respect (and dictated by) the quantum laws of porker preservation while oak smoke flavor is super saturated by coffee sipping.
But you were 10, so I guess you may be gradually forgiven.
