i need to use them. its like talking without using my hands, or any facial expressions, or body language. 80% of our speech happens in the nonverbal. so talking without emoticons, can turn into a lot of miscommunication, in this realm where its all black and white words.

oh, wait, i can get color on these? Oh color wheel, where have you been all my life...

What's ours then? The emoticon?

the emoticon is to the posted thread what nonverbal language is to the spoken word.
