Excellent point.

Sometimes the quick solution is sufficiently effective and, I begrudgingly admit, the better choice in far more circumstances than my instincts would have me believe.

      Okay, when lazy people converted the smiley face emoticon [ :-) ] into a smiling frog emoticon [ :) ] I felt a bit indignant, but reducing it to just the mouth portion of the smile [ ) ] is like a maximum efficiency emoticon.

      What's next? Just a zero? (Why bother with the shift key, that's inefficient?) ROFL LOL HaHaHa
