A Smiley face should be called a “Fahlman”:-)

We have renamed many concepts after their authors. For example, "cycles per second" is now called "Hertz". I propose we refer to the smiley face :-) as a "Fahlman" because (from Wikpedia): Fahlman is credited with originating the first smiley emoticon,[7][8][9] which he thought would help people on a message board at Carnegie Mellon to distinguish serious posts from jokes. He proposed the use of :-) and :-( for this purpose, and the symbols caught on. The original message from which these symbols originated was posted on 19 September 1982. The message was recovered by Jeff Baird on 10 September 2002 and read:[10] 19-Sep-82 11:44 Scott E Fahlman :-) From: Scott E Fahlman <Fahlman at Cmu-20c> I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-) Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use :-(
