Aye, while "emoticons" might be a pain, regardless of how concise one might
try to be, it can very easily be misinterpreted by someone on the other end.
Predominantly, this is because (according to a number of human interaction
studies), more than 60% of any conversation between two people (face to
face) is non-verbal. In an email message, emoticons are the closest thing
to that missing 60% that one can find regardless of how articulate you try
to be.



If smileys really are that effective in supporting written language it surprises me they have not yet entered literature.
