Misunderstood?

In the virtual world, it is very easy for people who don't know you in person to misjudge you. A statement devoid of ten exclamation marks and five smileys can be misinterpreted to be coming from a cold, dark soul with misanthropic tendencies. This can therefore only be repaired by inserting said exclamation marks and smileys, in order to make your intentions more positive.

For e.g.:

Without exclamation/smileys:
India is a nice place but not as nice as certain parts of Europe.

With exclamation/smileys:
India is a nice place!!!!!! :) :D but not as nice :) as certain parts of Europe!!!!!!!! ;)

There. You see what I mean? Now you try it.

2 people are racking their wee brains on this one:
