Netiquette involves careful word placement and expression, as well as the "nonverbal" language of the net. Emoticons are often used to express nonverbal communication where it does not exist. Emoticons usually follow a sentence to express emotion. Examples of emoticons: :-) These three characters represent a smiling face when rotated by 90 degrees. ;-) This winking smile means the remark was flirtatious or even sarcastic :-( The frowning character suggests sadness L This character expresses apathy :-P This can either be considered playful or disgusted <g> This usually means "grin" ROTFL This means "rolling on the floor laughing" LOL This is famously used as "laugh out loud" BTW This is a short version of "by the way" IMHO This means "in my humble opinion"
