Ah the old acronym soup, it is a love or hate thing like marmite, i hate it!!!! I do a lot of work with the local council, they are much better at keeping acronyms out of the paperwork that is sent out before meetings since i ping it back to them if my reader can't understand it!

emoticons are hit and miss, it depends on the programme used sometimes it says hug sometimes it reads the whole list of commands used to make the hug i have taught my reader to recognise the basic ones used on here so it now says hug rather than spending ages reading the commands
Thanks for this!
