I'm 18 (: Thank you so much for the heads up. I'm only doing this because it's fun! I love using Linux and I feel like I learned a ton from this.

Thank you so much for the heads up.
I'm only doing this because it's fun! I love using Linux and I feel like I learned a ton from this.
- smlckz 6y agobeing slightly younger than you, i can not but envy you: i have done zero projects or had fun like you have had. hmm.
- jvanderbot 6y agoAt what point did the smiley face reverse? It seems anyone under 24-ish uses (: where as I know it as :)
- saagarjha 6y agoI don't think I've ever seen anyone using (:, and I'm a bit younger than 24-ish :)
- darkwater 6y agoI remember (: being used by left-handed in the late '90s, but maybe it was just the people I knew that used it for that reason.
- thebruce87m 6y agoAnd when did the nose fall off too?
- newnamenewface 6y agoI blame reddit for this one. :^) needs to be escaped for else the mouth floats away.
- zem 6y ago:-) was the standard smiley-with-nose, :^) was a lot rarer
- themodelplumber 6y agoIMO monospace fonts can make the nose look ridiculous, but for other fonts I leave it in so the face is easier to read as a face.
- nurb 6y agoNose does not carry any facial expression information, so there is no need for it.
- colonwqbang 6y agoMany services will auto-translate :) into something else, like a colourful unicode icon. If you prefer to keep your smiley looking like just a smiley, (: is an effective workaround.
- NoodleIncident 6y agoThere's also an upside-down emoji smiley with its own distinct mood. Hopefully services don't start translating (: into that, they're used quite differently! https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojiology-upside-down-face/ https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojiology-upside-down-face/
