<p>They definitely should. I have a great title for a thesis already.</p>
<p>“Emoticons and Smiley Faces: A Psychosocial Analysis of Evolutionary Linguistics Among 19-Year-Olds in the Early 21st Century and Their Effects on the Modern English Language in the United States and Britain” by Nick Limas.</p>
<p>I’m assuming people who write that way have become accustomed to the respective keys needed to produce them to the degree that little effort is involved anymore. I would guess that the frequency of errors in typing their smiley (or sad) faces is as prevalent as it is in me writing this post.</p>
<p>lol this thread is just what i needed. it gave me a big lol.</p>
<p>i have transferitis!!! hahahaha omg after i visted ucsb this weekend i felt so relaxed and didn’t do anything this week. except create an account on here, and laugh and perpetuate my transferitis.</p>
<p>transferitis! <–that’s funny because i didn’t know what to call it until I read this thread, but this past couple of weeks, while waiting for Cal decision, I came down with a serious case of transferitis. </p>
<p>Actually, I still got it but only tomorrow will tell if it develops into nothing or something more serious like ‘waistedtwoyearsforwhatis’. :-)</p>
<p>Either way, good luck to all of you. I wish ya’ll the best!</p>
<p>Look! I’m nick the buzzkill! </p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Don’t even need to do anything to satirize nick, his very presense is a satire.</p>
<p>Your post is self-contradictory and your idiocy is self-evidenced in every one of your posts. Though everyone already knows this, I understand you’re a little slow which is why I’m trying to make this clear to you. Do you u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d?</p>
<p>no nick, i have to agree with suwaifo. nice way of totally buzz killing this thread with your insults towards my fellow asian. WHAT’S SO WRONG WITH USING X’S AND O’s AS SMILIES? GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH o<em>O ></em>< </p>
<p>but nah, sakura is pretty chill. no need to be hatin on her…despite her crazy high post count in a short time. lol</p>
<p>^
I just really feel the need to respond to people. ;D </p>
<p>I don’t know why I’m just so accustomed to doing the faces. On the computer, texting and paper. ^^</p>
<p>Sakurax and I are friends…we’ve been through a lot together so I don’t know why everyone’s hating on me for poking fun at her. She’s my fellow Hispanic.</p>
<p>^
Yep yep!</p>
<p>So I tried to send you a PM, but you’re full again. Just wanted to wish you luck, like you need it, but hey! I’ll see your post in the admit thread later when I get home!</p>
