[Misunderestimator]

75. Oh hey there again... I asked you a question yesterday, maybe you missed

it...

You joined just a few days ago, but you made a reference to me being gay (in a rather odd way) on a thread that is now locked. I'm curious how you came to know that about me. Do you post under another username?

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. Did you know that...

I'm 480 some posts away from 19,000 posts, which then means then I'll only be 1,000 posts away from 20,000 posts and I only joined in November of last year.

:o :scared:

[progmom]

27. i passed you

:cry:

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. Yeah, but you joined before I did

........ and I've been very busy lately, no time for threadjacking. Sad thing that.

[Misunderestimator]

45. Smiley (s). Smilies (pl).

[arwalden]

48. When My Eyes See "Smilie"... My Mind Reads "Similie"

So I prefer to use "smiley."

[progmom]

51. same here

:hi:

[swag]

49. Smilee, as a tribute to Ashlee Simpson.

[ghostsofgiants]

52. Emoticon, dammit!

[DS1]

53. Smilie. The correct way of spelling in the sense of describing humans

is smiley, but smilies aren't people, and smilies works better in plural.

[Lavender Brown]

54. Did you ever notice how the woohoo smiley

actually says "woowoo?" when it runs back and forth?

:woohoo:

[progmom]

57. looks like he's saying woohoo...

either way, i love him.

[Richardo]

58. It's both!!

He says 'woohoo' when stationary and 'woowoo' while moving. :wow:

Observe: :woohoo:

Truly a multitalented smiley.

[Lavender Brown]

59. Oh good, I thought I was going crazy

woowoo!

[Misunderestimator]

76. He says Woohoo AND Woowoo... I never noticed.

The things you learn here... :crazy:

[Shell Beau]

63. I actually use both spellings since I wasn't sure myself.

[Dora]

70. Grammar Policeperson says

Smiley is singular.
Smilies is plural.

Smilie is simile that's been misspelled, like a finger that's been accidentally cut off and sewn back on backwards.

[miss_kitty]

77. grammar facist sez

if it's an 'ey' ending, you only add an 's' to pluralise.
Monkey-Monkeys
Money-monies-ooops
