Ask HN: Do I use full stop after an emoticon at the end of a sentence? :) or :). 2 points by koppo 13y ago ↗ HN :) or :). The latter seems to destroy the emotion of the emoticon.
[–] plesner 13y ago ↗ Also relevant: can an emoticon count as a close paren? (wink :-) or (wink :-)). [–] koppo 13y ago ↗ yep, this is another pain point. (thanks for asking :() [–] pestaa 13y ago ↗ That's a valid monkey mouth, but make sure to close your parens! [–] koppo 13y ago ↗ omg! i closed the parens and it turned out to be a monkey mouth >:-(

[–] Casseres 13y ago ↗ Use it instead of punctuation :-) Then start the new sentence like this with a capitalized letter.I still haven't figured out how to use it inside of parenthesis, so I try to avoid doing so.
