Jostein, if one takes all the time and trouble to describe the specifics
of one's fart towards me, it obviously may indicate that they are full
of some serious resentment toward my person. It is as if they would have
hit me in the face, but since I am so many miles of internet plumbing
away from them, they let their resentment through to me by that careful
description of angle, speed or whatever details of that fart they put in
there.

Boris, I think some of the success of the symbolic emoticons is the
very fact that they are not razorblade accurate.
Next thing you know, someone will insert
/Gut gass outlet -> {degrees off compass North} /
instead of "I fart in your general direction".
You have to ask yourself if that is really an improvement.

Absolutely. But I want to eliminate or minimize the situation where the
miscontrue-ment wasn't on purpose but merely because of misunderstanding or
misuse of language. Latter happening usually on my part.
