With 1215 different emoticons, I spend a lot of time searching through the indexes, trying to find the one that maches the image, and I can see the explanation of what the reader intended to convey. For the first ten years or so of smileys, there were so few of them that I managed to keep up with their meaning. Nowadays, it would probably be easier to learn Chinese pictographs. Sure enough: You can get a rough idea; you know if the writer is happy, sad or ashamed. But why did he give me a :-D instead of a :) or maybe a :) or :-\ ? What did he mean when answering with a :cool: ? (Well, that one I can guess when I add it to to my own text - that is easier that guessing from the image, which might as well be taken as "I'm on a sunny vacation".) So I generally interpret emoticons as "Some emotion attached here - let's not waste time on the details". In other words: I do not value them very highly.
