Throwing down the gauntlet (smileyface deleted)

I am going to challenge myself to use no emoticons for one week (<3s excluded, because <3s are not emoticons, they are A WAY OF LIFE).

Yeah, context counts for a lot. OTOH, sometimes the context is unclear, or ambiguous/easy to misinterpret. It really just depends.
