Can you correctly put a :) in parenthesis or quotation marks?

If it is not mathematics, I am uncomfortable with nested parentheses, and would avoid them. Punctuation is to give clarity, and when paired things are used paired, and unpaired, it impedes the flow of information, rather than clarifying it. You can utilize other bracketing devices.

Try curly braces, straight braces, etc. , until you get a result that does not lose legibility and clarity. Whatever you choose, choose consistency! Just as in an outline, when you have numbered sections, and numbered subsections, you alternate between different types of markers, be it Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, capital letters, lower case letters, etc. Since parentheses have already been used, I would avoid them.

As stated in prior answers, one place that you could potentially need to use emoticons in such a fashion would be in quoting a more casual form of messaging, be it a telephone text message, or an instant messenger client.In this instance, you delimiters would be hard line breaks, with names at the beginnings of the lines, almost like a script. Bill: you there? Jane: no :p Bill: you busy?

Jane: no :) If you needed to include this in a narrative report of some sort, I might aim something along this like: The first text message sent from Mr Smith's phone to Mrs Jones's phone at 8:15 p.m. Was { Are you still coming? I can't wait forever!

;) } The second text message was sent from Mrs Jones' phone to Mr Smith's phone at 8:22 p.m. { sorry, gtg! Miss ya!

:( } The first text message sent from Mr Smith's phone to Mrs Jones's phone at 8:15 p.m. Was " Are you still coming? I can't wait forever!

;) " The second text message was sent from Mrs Jones' phone to Mr Smith's phone at 8:22 p.m. " sorry, gtg! Miss ya!

:( " The first text message sent from Mr Smith's phone to Mrs Jones's phone at 8:15 p.m. Was: " Are you still coming? I can't wait forever!

;) " The second text message was sent from Mrs Jones' phone to Mr Smith's phone at 8:22 p.m. : " sorry, gtg! Miss ya!

:( " The first text message sent from Mr Smith's phone to Mrs Jones's phone at 8:15 p.m. The second text message was sent from Mrs Jones' phone to Mr Smith's phone at 8:22 p.m. Mr Smith -> Mrs Jones (8:15) : " Are you still coming?

I can't wait forever! ;) " Mrs Jones -> Mr Smith (8:22) : " sorry, gtg! Miss ya!

:(.

I've ALWAYS wondered this! In my opinion, there is no correct way to put a :) in parenthesis, so you just have to improvise. I typically use (this version :) ) with a space inbetween, because (this version:)) just looks silly.

The space defines it as a separate character. I've also seen people use other version to define it like (this one(:) (or this:o) ) or even things like ( this : ). I think the space in there is key, though.As for quotation marks, I can't say I've ever needed it.. "lets try :)"?

I don't think that one is as big of a deal and the "space certainly helps :) ". In short - make up your own way. There is no proper way to do it.

Good luck!

Yes, you can. However it isn't aesthetically pleasing and looks clumsy. In most cases where I am going to use it I find that rewriting the sentence not only allows me to avoid the problem, but it actually conveys my ideas better.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
