Emoticon

Emotion Icon
Given the fact that sarcasm, joking, kidding, and light humor can be taken SOOOO the wrong way via internet, IMing, email, and text, people use emoticons to show facial expressions and add dynamic to the conversation.

Emoticon:

I'm judging you SO hard right now ;-P (joking)

Ya, you should totally date him >.> (sarcasm)

Jane's boss is emoticonning her. He emails here about head office plans RE her team, but then ends his sentences with winks. So, Jane is convinced that all these big plans are just talk.
