In written forms of communication, smileys or emoticons are applied to portray the mood of the message. To make the smiley faces, colons or semicolons are used for the eyes and respective letters are applied for the mouth to display the emotion. For instance a smiley face with a wink and a smile is a semicolon with a closing parenthesis. Example; ) For a frown a colon with a left hand parentheses. Example: (. A big smile is a colon with a capital D. Example: D

While smileys are made strictly of text characters, emoticons are little yellow faces that may be loaded from smileyCentral. Both display emotions to heighten the message of the text.

The acceptance of the smileys for informal and written messages are largely due to the abundance of communications by text messages, message boards and instant messaging (IM).

With the increasing use of the internet and wireless digital telecommunications, the adoption of the smileys has taken prominence. This motion was initiated by the youth and there is in all probability not a young person out there who does not recognise the meaning or usage of smileys.

The emotions displayed have evolved from just pleasure and sadness to disbelief, anger, playfulness and surprise.

Females use the emoticons much more oftentimes than males. This may be due to sentiment more comfortable in expressing emotions or they may be more versed in using telecommunication nuance techniques.

Those who criticize the use of emoticons as being damaging to the depth of humane communication do not address the gains of using them for more immediate messages with more intimate text messages.

Smileys have all been figured out and do not have the range of emotions that emoticons may express. The future of these symbols seem to have hit a plateau and the future or more nuanced symbols would require a wider range of symbols for longer text messages.

Esential Part of Boat Navigation
By John F. Sullivan
If you boat, you need charts. If you have charts, you need this book. This is a replacement for the government published chart 1. It is well laid out and easy to use once you spend a few minutes with it and a chart of your favorite area for boating.
Quibles – The abbreviations are split into three sections, so if you don’t find your chart abbreviation in one index, go to the next, or the next. I feel that this would be more useful as one index, with descriptions like in a dictionary – Fl G – (All) Flashing Green light…..

Great for beginners
By C. Vaughn
I used this book while taking an ASA sailing course on navigation. It is easy to use and great for someone who has never looked at a chart before.

Useful map key for the overly interested
By Timothy Knight
I am a map person and this guide is the ultimate resource for ALL icon/keys on every ocean or lake chart currently published in the USA. Highly educational for the boater who wants to be able to read and understand your chart down to the smallest detail.
