hmmm yes, I think that sounds fun! I never thought about the other homophones we use to/too/two or there/their/they're but now that you mention it... 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 is generaly regional accent (often London) or is attached to phrases like 'go(t) eem' that are always said with the accent
----The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false----

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.
