String anomalies

Yes, this is pointless, but I felt the urge to share.
While responding to another thread and making a typo, I noticed something in regards to strings used to generate different smileys.
Say for example I want to put a smiley after a comment made in brackets, or a frowning smiley inside some brackets. To do either I would type the following (added spaces for clarity):

(smiley/frowning) : )      <----smiling outside brackets
(smiley/frowning) : )      <----frowning inside brackets

Or without spaces:

(smiley/frowning):)      <----smiling outside brackets
(smiley/frowning):)      <----frowning inside brackets

Sure, completely pointless, and Im not even sure anyone will appreciate it (for some reason it amuses me), but thought I'd point it out regardless. Im sure there's probably a few other strings that parallel this too.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
