How to Make a Happy Face on Emails
When writing an email, it can be difficult to get across the tone your words are meant to have. One way to show emotion through something other than words is to use smiley-face emoticons. To make an emoticon, type a series of letters and symbols together that ultimately resemble a smiley face. On the Internet, these symbols are a universal symbol of happiness or joking. These emoticons can be used with any email provider or instant messaging program.
