That is one of my biggest habits! I can't resist it!

"Envy is ignorance, Imitation is suicide" [Emerson]

hooray for the ellipsis ...

Really? I can't stand it when people do that just because I associate that with sadness. It seems to imply that the sentence was stretched out and that's how people tend to sound when they are sad or irritated.

So when I go "Great job!" and the person says "Thank you...", I wonder what I did wrong.

Now if it's in the middle of a sentence, it comes off like they are stretching it out for dramatic effect. "And the winner is...Jason!" Or perhaps even anti-climatic. "And the winner is...Joe." The "." at the end sounds like the build up wasn't for anything exciting. Then again, the could just be a really calm person saying it.

...That could just be me, of course. Perhaps I look into things too much.

It's nice to know that it's just a habit for some though. I'll try to keep that in mind.

You're right in everytjing you said... But I just use it like an obsession... xDD And I'm always happy.

A habit as you said. Many people in the msn do it... haha

What do you live for?

Heh, thanks! Yes, I understand that now. It's just that I look into things too much sometimes and, well, I am quite paranoid. Mix the two together and things get a little...special. So sometimes I think something is worse than it is. It doesn't help that it's hard to read tone over the internet, so I look for signs to figure it out. ( It's one of the reasons why I like and use emoticons quite a bit. It helps express the tone of the comments )

I'm glad to hear that it's just a habit for some. I'll have to learn to identify when that is the case.

You're welcome! Thanks for saying that it was intelligent. That makes me feel really good, honestly.

You are not paranoid... You want to underestand the things. and yo're right once again in that about the tone of the commnents.

I can't live without emoticons in the msn... xDD

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

I don't know what I would do without emoticons in general on the internet. But yeah, I know what you mean ( even though I don't use MSN )!
