KathyH..... can’t take any heat uh.
You are beginning to remind me of Charles Shultz cartoon Peanuts
Lucy would set up a booth with a sign saying psychiatry 5 cents then proceed to solve everyone’s problems. At the end of each cartoon every character could only scratch their head and say “Good Grief”
Simply ask you what time it is and you will proceed to explain the meaning of time and how clocks are made. “Good Grief” KathyH
freestate comes up with a good topic then you chime in with:
“Interesting, and both are new to me.” [smiley face]
You admit that you know nothing about this but you MUST analyze it anyway with this:
The one reason comes to mind why a person wouldn't use a smiley, is if the intent is to make the reader question whether it's a parody/joke or a straight comment.
If you tag it with smilies, you lose that ambiguity, which can be used to provoke thought.
I agree 100% that if you want to say something is OBVIOUSLY a joke, then be obvious and use the Smilies.
Smilies are not enough to make a joke funny if it isn't.
Well ounce again we get KathyH’s words of wisdom even thou she admits she knew nothing about the subject. Good Grief.
