Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting


I use the word emoticons but

my navigator waves

a stern red line under it

and frowns.


It seems even emotions need

a grammar of their own

  1. Does it really matter
    how feeling is spelled?

    The line under the word
    neither limit nor warning

    but a very small heartbeat

    panicked by the audacity
    of what you're trying to say.

  2. :D. Yes, but it's not 'feeling' but 'emoticons'- which is actually a terrible word when you think of it.

  3. sb: What's wrong with emoticons? I like. Ironically, it's only web browsers that seem to have an issue with it - Word seems to accept it without a quibble.

  6. Falstaff: You know, I wrote this so long ago, I didn't even notice that Word no longer questions the word!

    Dipali: Thanks.

    Equivocal: Emotiprose has to be just that tiniest bit worse than emoticons. When are you going to post about your readings?
