Title: emoticon usage
Post by: Rick Daris on October 15, 2008, 03:05:55 PM: I know this has kind of been discussed before, but I am finding myself using emoticons from here in real life. Mainly just :nono: and :ohno: but I'm scared it is getting worse. I just sent an email to they guy who is technically my boss and really, really wanted to put one of these at the end :ohno: as kind of a joke.

Should I be concerned about this :confused:

QFT. I wish there was a verbal way to express :flush: among others.

Speaking of QFT, do you ever let internet acronyms slip into your conversations? The next day after the Louisville debacle I was talking with some guys at work and I actually mumbled "Quoted for Truth" Thankfully nobody heard me. That was kind of a wakeup call that maybe I'm spending too much time on these boards. :-[
