Every year on September 19 an unusual holiday is celebrated all over the world - the Birthday of the most friendly and popular electronic symbol- the Birthday of Smiley.
On September 19, 1982, Professor E. E. Fahlman of the Carnegie Mellon University first proposed the use of three symbols in succession - a colon, a hyphen, and a closing bracket, to designate a "smiling face" in the text that is typed on the computer.
This was a serious replenishment of the electronic lexicon which has been used by each of us in our everyday communication in the Internet or text messages ever since.
