Today, many people all around the world text or email more than a millions email per second. The truth is, they do not have any idea how to write, and therefore misunderstanding occurs between the sender and receiver. Because of this issue, it leads to the birth of creation of emoticons
Introduction:
It all started back in the State, when Professor Scott Fahlman from Carnegie Mellon University invented the original emoticon which is made up with typing a colon. Still, there are experts against the use of emoticon, whereby, Greenstone (2003) think it as silly and unprofessional.

According to (Kress & Van Leeuwen, 2006), a Picture or symbol can represent all the text of meaning. Email etiquette is divided into two, formality the way we address a person in the email, and the occasion (it should not be used to express feelings, especially in sending out an apology or greeting).
Good Email Etiquette:
- Not writing in CAPITALS
- Avoid using urgent and important
- Not forwarding virus hoaxes and chain letters
- Be concise to the point
- Keeping your language gender neutral
Bacn- “email you wan but not right now”. It differs from spam as recipient has somehow signed up to accept it
My Opinion:
What I think is, emoticon had bring joy to the society as all the emoticon got different type of face, such as winky, happy, cute or adorable and etc...
