Emoticon explanations

Too many applications provide their own emoticons. This is not acceptable. When I type the following characters this is what I mean.

• :) – This made me smile.
• :D – This really made me smile. My mouth is open. Please don't throw things at it.
• :E – E is one better than D, therefore I just smiled so hard that my face broke.
• ;) – I said something cheeky and hilarious.
• :P – I said something that probably wasn't serious.
