Well I've tried to iron out all of the emoticons in the GUI. I agree, it is unprofessional - just like slang and jokes, unless the program warrants it (eg. edutainment, games, etc.). Even this is open to interpretation. Regards, Malcolm -- KDE Proof Reading Team KDE GB English Translation Team +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
