HI, I was wondering are graphical emoticons such as the happy and sad smileys, winking smileys etc, okay to use in printed texts in general....for example in E-mails and SMS messages? I've got a feeling some emoticons are only common to Windows/MSN Messenger. I wanted to make sure first just in case people wondered why I was sending them stray punctuation lol!
