Now that I think about it, I wonder how large the ratio between '(' and ')' across the entire internet is, due to emoticons.

Most people write them left to right. Now, do people use the smiling one ':)' more or the sad one ':('? My gut feeling would be a larger quantity of positive emotions, however, people tend to use ':D' instead.

:) definitely wins out. Whenever I'm watching a streamer make a prediction that's amusingly close to the truth, the chat turns into a sea of coy :) comments.

Also, I feel like the crowd that would use :D have now moved onto emojis.

Have to close that one now (first comment doesn't count cos it's in quotes) :)
