DEATH TO PEOPLE WHO USE SMILIES IN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE!

*snerk*

My cousin teaches HS english. He's said that he's seen them showing up in grades papers.

Along the same lines, I've always wondered why we still use the "Dear Soandso" salutation for business letters. Are they really that dear? I've even seen them on the CO's monthly letters/updates to the Admiral. Blows my mind.

Nah. They're way too old for decent yaoi. Nobody wants to see ojii-san-ai.

That just makes it kinkier. I didn't say I wanted to see it. ^_^

Fair enough. Now we know how the CO managed to put on ADM, despite mismanaging the precommissioning of the ship.

I wouldn't be surprise about smileys poping up in papers when teachers type in IM with all caps and with "U" instead of "you". :P

People who do that need to be taken out and flogged. Teachers who do so should just be hanged (just let the grammar nazi's try me on that one) out front the school house.
