When msn published the feature list of MSN 7.0 and i saw the feature 'custom animated emoticons' i was like woohoo that will be a great feature. But.. my thoughts about that have now changed as people have began replacing words for the animated pictures making sentances extremely hard to read in some cases.
The worst thing is, most people are just right clicking their friends emoticons and choosing 'add' without knowing that the shortcut for that emoticon is actually a word or letter and in most cases they do not know how to resolve the problem. It's just got to the point where it's started p***ing me off now and i was wondering if anyone else had experienced this with anyone they had talked to and what your views are on this problem.
