Lol, it's just that I've always called colourful and/or moving smilies emoticons, but I call those of punctuation marks like : ) or : '(, smilies. xD
I thought both were both.
I know lol it's liek when I was 16 it was all :) and :( and I think some people even did :D but that was:cool::cool::cool::cool: pretty hard:greenie::roll2;) core but then i learned how to '][''/[]D3 |_;|< 3 [)|$ so den:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: I was so cool y'know? 1990s was so awesom^ ^:eep:_^Quote:

I guess the deciding factor in my mind is "can something that is not an image necessarily be an 'icon?"
but I always get it backwards and call graphical smileys and text emoticons anyway. lol!
both are both BUT smiley's only refer to the ones with smiles eg. : ) or :), :D or : D however emoticons refer to any emotion
:p : p
:( : (
:mad2: >: (

:eep: -_-
I like the smiley the best. Emoticons are creepy.
Emoticon and smiley are interchangeable to me if you're talking about graphical and/or text versions. Emoticon is the proper term, though.
A smiley is technically just :), but can refer to any emoticons as well.
Emoticons are simply pictured icons of text based 'smilies' Simple as that
If it's so simple then what is ^_^ ? or ^_^^_^_^ or even ^____________________________^ ?
It's a smiley!
I have more fun making and using my own emotes. （ー‿ー）～☆
that's cute! I like my pikachu one <(o'.'o)>Quote:

I was scrolling quickly over the rest of the thread thinking about saying something like this and then you went and did it for me. Good work!Quote:

It depends on whether you think the word is:
emot icon (Emotion icon) which is a picture to represent an emotion :)
or
emoti con (emotic convention) which is a convention generally accepted as representations of emotions, such as by text : )
I personally thought it was the second one before I read what people kept saying about icons
