Now that I think about it, I wonder how large the ratio between ‘(’ and ‘)’ across the entire internet is, due to emoticons.
Most people write them left to right. Now, do people use the smiling one ‘:)’ more or the sad one ‘:(’? My gut feeling would be a larger quantity of positive emotions, however, people tend to use ‘:D’ instead.
How about individual chats? This could actually be an indicator about the relationship between people, at least in an era before emojis.
:) definitely wins out. Whenever I’m watching a streamer make a prediction that’s amusingly close to the truth, the chat turns into a sea of coy :) comments.
Also, I feel like the crowd that would use :D have now moved onto emojis.
I’m not counting that, but did he take his ‘:)’ into consideration?
Each spaced group is 10
Each , is 100
Each ; is 1000
In short, yes.
Honestly, props to the amount of effort they put in for future legibility and proofreading
(:

Have to close that one now (first comment doesn’t count cos it’s in quotes) :)
