How do you feel about smilies? Do you mind using them, or do you feel they discourage people from exploring the expressive resources of language?

I was quite reluctant to use them at first but they're sometimes a good extension or can make something a bit more clear. My kind of humour can easily be misread and maybe they help a bit so some don't feel offended. Hopefully. I'm not here to offend.

From the ones you can use here, which one you think is the nicest? Or funniest....

I like this one


same ques

I like shrug guy vomit man and Mr Evil

Which one is your least favorite?

any of them that don't have a face on them.
^ what's the point of that guy? < when I can just use a normal question mark!

Seriously, what is the point of that guy?

Yep, me too. Without a face....?

Emphasizing maybe?

Sorry.

Without looking it up.... can you estimate how many countries are there on this planet?
(I say 120 but ?)

>Edit<.... Ok, I looked it up. So....
How many countries are there on this planet?

I think it's roughly 180.

without looking it up, how many cities with a population greater than 20 million are there?

(I'm guessing 20)

(edit: but, having checked it, even by the most generous estimates I'm way off)

You mean today?

WTF?

WTF? Don't know what to say....I don't know the answer.

Cities with more than 20 million people. 20 million.... Jeee. Probably New York, LA, Bombay, one or two Chinese.... I think you're too high probably so I'll say 8, maybe less. And that's a honest estimate.


How many inhabitants does the city/village count where you live?

(the most generous estimate I could find said 7, & that's not really for city, just continuous urban sprawl.

Where I live there is, I think, 800 people.

Do you prefer the city or the country?

In cities people are maybe a bit more open minded for a bit of oddness plus I don't drive a car and thus need a train station. On the other hand the peace and quiet you can find in the country is nice. I also like nature and animals (farm-).

I chose the city. (or something in between)

Is it possible to wash my sweaters made out of wool in the machine? Or must it be done by hand?

I you put it on a low enough setting you might get away with it, but it's risky.

Is there any gadget or labour saving device that doesn't exist that you wish they'd hurry up & invent?

some android that would do my daily chores. and would know the answers to all my questions. laughing at my jokes would also be desirable

same q

I want a computer screen that I can just grab at a corner & resize, as easily as I resize windows on the screen - & if it laughed at my jokes, that'd be great too.

Are you good at giving things up?

No, not really

How many hours (on ave) do you sleep?

depends how tall the other person is

edit- sleep: preferably 10, 9 is my minimum, any less makes me a zombie

do you think I will suceed in making homamade gnocchi or should I just order pizza?

I think you should make the gnocchi (but I would probably order the pizza).

Do you prefer going to the cinema with friends or on your own?
