A genius invented three kinds of smileys. The smiling one 🙂 The neutral one 😐 And the sad one ☹
These three have all the three universal feeling people need to comunicate. Instead, they started ruining it. First, they changed the color of the original ones, making it of any color possible. Then they started making shitloads of smileys with any kind of useless facial expressions possible. At the end they made any kind of shit possible that have become meaningless crap. Now they are calling this shit emoticons or emojis instead of smileys. People don't even know the name of the original inventor.
I don't know if they ruined the smileys because demented, or deliberately. The fact is, if you see somebody using anything else than the three basic smileys, don't trust them.

Yeah, well. (-:,:-/,.-.,o7,o/, :-o, etc. were all used before graphical representation was added.
Fun fact.:they were already used on typewriters long before computers.
