Have you ever used the wrong emoticon with a response? A couple of days ago I was responding to a very sad post and instead of clicking on the sad emoticon
- I clicked on the happy face 
- and pressed send.
I was so glad that I noticed it in time and quickly edited it - can you imagine if I had sent the laugh emoticon 
? with my kind of luck , that would be just the moment when my internet decides to run slow and I can't get through to edit it. I would be blocked by the author of that post for sure.
Do you find emoticons useful?

I use them sometimes, but they're so small that it's easy to hit the wrong one.So if I use one that doesn't seem right, please forgive me!

They can be very useful to express what you are saying but if you use the wrong one without noticing it could cause a misunderstanding.

I use them sparingly, for just that reason I am usually speeding along.

Oh yes, I've done it several times. I had others doing the same.
I always see that in time and correct myself.
Unless I'm drunk, drunk texting doesn't count.

I use some of them some of the time. I was on another site today where when you are commenting you can up or down vote the comment. So I up voted the comment on one of my posts and just before I made my reply my pointer slid and I also down voted the same comment. There was not way to correct the mistake so in my reply I also apologized for doing that.

I use them sparingly because I am not too sure what they all mean

I recently started using them sometimes. It helps to interpret what you are saying I think. I hope I have not hit the wrong one any time.
