Both emoticons and smilies. When it's a static one, I tend to call those smiles and the animated ones I tend to call emoticons. But there really is no rhyme or reason why... I just call them whatever comes to mind.

`Mirz123 May 4, 2011

This is me now.

~Tanukitsune1 Apr 10, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

To me an emoticon is made by letters and symbols and a smiley is an actual graphic?

`Mirz123 Apr 11, 2011

That was the original thinking on the subject. Now everything is all topsy-turvey.

~Tanukitsune1 Apr 15, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

How did that ever happen?

`Mirz123 Apr 27, 2011

it is weird!

~Chibi-NinjaX3 Apr 9, 2011 Student Digital Artist
