jingle it's not only gransnet that uses these emoticons! Just like when you type square bracket left-hand-side s m i l e square bracket right-handside and the 'puter makes that into a smiley face - only different.
I can't remember what made me do it Shysal! I really can't. I'm glad I did though, even though I know son-who-knows-everything would give me a simple explanation.
But how does it decode it Grannyknot? Does it, I mean they, know about Gransnet? I think it's amazing.
I would imagine that it is because the Google search engine doesn't "read" images, therefore it decodes it and translates it into text.
I watched the film "Jobs" the other night. The life and times if the young Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computers. Modern history in the making. I found that strangely exciting.
