Do you write your smiley with or without a nose?

D’oh!

No nose. The nose draws my attention to the “picture” whereas no nose reads more like, well, punctuation.

By adding the nose it becomes a remarkable facsimile of my face.

:o)

The main problem with not including the nose isn’t the lack of nose, it’s the lack of space for the nose:

[noparse]No space… :slight_smile:
with space… : )
with nose… :-)[/noparse]

I’d be willing to use a space for those of you who are offended by the presence of a nose. If you prefer that top form, though, we have nothing to talk about.
