Hi Amro
Interesting, thanks. I've now tried this, and it works with just a
colon and a right bracket, so at least it's a bit quicker!! (smiley
face). I'd always been told to include the dash, so hadn't given a
thought to omitting it.
Cool!

Hold on people!
OK. To write a smiley if predictive text is on, you only need to press
number 1 twice. This will write a colon sign and a right bracket sign.
Yes, without the dash, and that's a smiley face. Most people don't
bother with the dash any more. You're not keeping up with the younger
generation and internet forums folks LOL! Actually, I hardly come across
any smiley faces written with the dash sign these days. Examples- :) :@
;) :p. Suffice to say, from what I see, in text messages, people mostly
just use the happy face sign and to a lesser extent the sad face sign.
As of Talks reading smiley faces and sad faces, this how it works on my
E66 using Talks 4 and when punctuation is set to none. Talks reads
'colon right bracket' and 'colon dash right bracket' as smiley face when
reading line by line or reading all. When reading word by word or
character by character, Talks reads the signs as they are. i.e. Talks
says colon, right bracket and so on.
P.S. When predictive text is on, pressing number 1 three times writes
three exclamation marks. Cycle through and you'll get the happy and sad
faces written with the dash sign.
Hope that makes sense,
Amro
