Saw a cute item in Reader's Digest.  Smiley from Japan  (^_^)    girl's
smile (^,^) has a dot for the mouth because traditionally it is considered
impolite for women to bare their teeth in a grin.  "banzai" smiley shows a
character with arms raised and mouth open in a traditional cheer  \(^o^)/
We can use the banzai smiley whenever we want to applaud, agree or
congratulate someone. Have a good summer day.  We FINALLY got some rain in
parched South Jersey! Sincerely, Pat
