    Emails are so impersonal, and there are so many ways to make them more special. You can give your emails a more personal touch by using smileys or novel punctuation sequences. It doesn't have to be time-consuming, either. Let's take a look at how smileys can really make those ordinary emails more out-of-the-ordinary and playful.

    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.

    I think she's "talking down" to her audience because most of them have not discovered the internet - and if they have - still haven't got the hang of it.

    We just witnessed the beginning of the end for RC planes. I predict that someone will use of these to attack someone. Needless to say, RC planes will be banned forever after that. Never mind that it will do nothing to prevent real terrorists from building and using them.
