It's not, actually.

Anyway, you may want to give some thought to whether or not
your writing contributed to the misunderstanding.

Response from sallytighe :

To be honest, I thought it was intended to be snippy rather than funny
too. But then I also thought the original comment was a bit harsh.


Snippy? How in the world did it come off as snippy with a big smiley
face next to it?

Also, since you call yourself a linguist, compare the definition of
snippy to the lengthy response I gave Shelly. There was nothing curt
about my ramble. : )

It's writing that's the problem -- you lose everything that's
conveyed by body language, both the cues from the other person as to
what it's OK to say, and the stuff in your own body language that
tones what you say up or down.


That's what they made emoticons for. Well, at least for the ability to
emote electronically.

Anyway, I hope there are no hard feelings.


None taken, none given.

"They" created them as a form of sarcasm, but they're widely
used as an adaptive tool by people who can't write.

Wow. And here I thought that's what proper writing skills were supposed to
accomplish. Silly me. I actually believed my sixth grade English teacher
when she said sentence structure and vocabulary were important components of
coherent writing. Had I inserted an emoticon into my homework assignments,
I'm almost certain that she would have subtracted points from my grade.

However did people manage to write understandable sentences, paragraphs and
even whole books before the invention of emoticons?

Let me guess... you thought that was snippy too?


Heck, no. I thought it was silly. I've seen every form of
nasty, incoherent, sarcastic, stupid, badly-written crap
have a smiley appended to it. Sometimes the author uses it
because he knows he's a bad writer, and sometimes the author
uses it to distance himself from or remove responsibility
for something he's written (for example, "GAY = Got AIDS
Yet? :-). It was a *joke*! Lighten up!!! You people are
so sensitive!"). Couldn't tell which yours was.

And am I to take it that you were there when "they" created emoticons and
know for a fact that they were meant to convey sarcasm?


Yes, actually.

You may have noticed at this point, you "ladies" have applied semantics
to my last nerve.

First, your "proper writing skills" garbage has no bearing on my
statement about emoticons usefulness in emoting oneself via electronic
means such as e-mail, or *gasp!* Usenet.

I think the whole lot of you holier than thou ladies ought to take
yourselves down a notch.

If it makes you feel high and mighty to feebly attempt to belittle
someone whilst you sit upon your mighty "I'm a Usenet Queen" pedestals...
then you're seriously lacking in more than one department.

Here I thought I was in rec.pets.dogs.health, but I feel like I'm in
alt.ridiculously.self-absorbed.
