It is true, Emoticons are used to express the emotions that can’t be seen by the person who is receiving them. Does this make sense to you? It probably does if you spend time in a chat room or e-mailing others.
You may have heard about Emoticons from your children. Kids and teens are quite adept at using and understanding Emoticons. In a way it is like a foreign language. Young people tend to catch on much more quickly than older people.
