Hiyah! I've decided to start up a little post for online tonality! In other words, a dictionary of simple (chat box friendly) text addons that represent certain tonalities, or ideas.
"[(Word)]"
Basic info:
Surrounding a word or phrase with "([", and "])" indicates variable information. IN other words, the text within the ([]) could be anything in normal circumstances, and under such circumstances, the ([]) would not be typed. Examples are provided throughout the document.
Detailed info:
([X]) = Any number
([Word]) = Any word/phrase
([X,([r1]),([r2])]) = Any number between [(r1)], and [(r2)].
([([Classification])]) = Any word regarding the classification. For example:
([Number]) = ([X]).
([Fruit]) can be: Bananna, Strawberry, etcetera.
:[(Word)]:
Basic info:
Surrounding a word, or phrase with :'s indicates stress on that word. For instance: "Of :course: I would like cake!".
Detailed info:
Using double ::'s indicates an even larger amount of stress. For instance :Word: is less intensive than ::Word::. Also, you can use htheres in multi layers:
"Hrrm? :Of :course: you are to do as I say.:" In this example, the entire sentence is stressed, but the "course" is even :more: stressed than the rest of the sentence, as it is nested within an all ready stressed sentence.
*[(Word)]*
Basic info:
Used to represent action, internal thoughts, states of mind, or the obvious. For instance: *Yes!*, *Yay*, *Hint: no*, *Eats cake*.
"*[(Word)]" & "[(Word)]*"
Basic info: Prefixing, or affixing (Beginning, or ending) a word or phrase with *, **, or *** indicates a correction.
Detailed info:
It is a good idea to use the format: **correction>mispelling. This indicates exactly what you are fixing. For examol: **example>exampol. Though people can commonly deduce what is wrong, it is best to do this in order to make it absolutely clear.
@([username])
Basic info: Commonly used on forums. Used to indicate the user your comment is directed to. For example: @flyclub.
Complex info:
The chat version of this, is "([Username]):", or "([Username]),".
In complex forum posts, you may want to reply to a specific comment by the autor being represented. For example:
@([username]) RLR, indicates that you are replying to ([username])'s last comment. (Some forums call them relies, or responses). (RLR = Regarding Last Response)
@([username]) R [(Subject/Content]), indicates that you are replying to a reply by ([username]) regarding ([Subject/Content]).
...
Basic info
Saying ... indicates frustration.
Detailed info:
Can also indicate:
"I am about to erupt with anger, or excitement, so prepare your self"
"I am about to erupt with words, so prepare your self"
"I am speechless"
...?
Basic info
saying ...? indicates confusion.
Detailed information:
Saying ? simply indicates "What are you talking about?"
Punctuations:
. = End of sentence
.~ = Sarcasm
.. = Sadness/Disappointment/Reluctance
... = (Answer/Finish) coming / slight confusion / opinion of statement is that the statement was strange. (The statement being the sentence that the sentence is replying to)
..? & ...? = Are you sure? / Is that really true?
..?! = Surprise
?! = Angry question.
! = Emphasis on sentence
!!! = Angry sentence
Add your own! This post seems kind of empty without backup.

Punctuation: The most important part of a sentence
The punctuation on a sentence is very useful for creating mood. For example, "Of course I would like cake.", is not as expressive as "Of course I would like cake!".
Adding multiple punctuation is another important part, for example, ...? creates caution, while ?! says "Why would I want to do that?!"
Capitalization
If you say, "Of course I want cake!" you are being expressive. But if you add some more Uppercase letters, you can create, "Of COURSE I would like some cake!" and be more expressive with your words.

a * before or after a word indicates a correction of a previously misspelled word.

@
very useful to express who the comment is directed at to avoid confusion, for example:
@flyclub: nice post
» Reply to CommentRe: Online Expression
And what, exactly, is the difference between:
....? , which is confusion, or
? , which is "what did you say?"
.... synonyms. Just sayin'.

...? Indicates more confusion on the subject, and ? indicates inclarity in speech.

Um, nice idea, but then every person on Mars Explorer would have to have read this post to understand that, and it is pretty hard to understand...

i can understand it, i went through algebra class

Bam! this is definitely an interesting idea, although not very practical, newbies should learn it (especially the stuff at the bottom). It helps when you make a statement that could be sarcastic to put a ~ at the end so that you know it's sarcasm, and you're not left guessing.
