Oh and I think

is becoming more common because it is easier to say if you don't have the 'Hampshire Accent' (Queen's speech etc)...also lazier than to-use-day (apologies for terrible phonetics!)...and
Quote:
eem
is generaly regional accent (often London) or is attached to phrases like 'go(t) eem' that are always said with the accent smile

True, unless you pronounce it Toos day without the Y in there.

Not sure, but, in Dutch, glimlach means 'smile'; there's also a verb glimlachen 'to smile' (no doubt related to German lachen 'to laugh', English laugh). Branshea?

[i\]Hasiye[/i] might be Urdu. It shows up in song titles in that language.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Yes, and glimmen is to shine so a glimlach is a shinelaugh.
It may be your phone Avy. Hasiye means smile too?

I think the possibilities for making smilies with [] will be strictly within the range of what is provided in the box up here.
