- mbrubeck 17y agoIf you do it the double-chinned XKCD way, it messes up your auto-balancing text editor.

- skilldrick 17y agoOf course! I take it all back.
- praptak 17y agoIf you read XKCD and use an auto-balancing editor for plaintext then you should have no problems modding it to recognize emoticons.
