I wouldn't put them into serious work. Reading a book that had smileys in it would piss me right off. I still like them in a forum though. parrot

It just would. It may be because I read books for ages before I read them online, but I like books without smileys.

Imagine Shakespeare with smilies.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; finmad

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him; Cry

The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones, yes

So let it be with Caesar king

... The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it ... wacko

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men) Afro

Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral ...
He was my friend, faithful and just to me: Cry

But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man….
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious Huh?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Cry

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man whistling2

You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown king

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man Roll Eyes

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him Huh?
