Well, I was wondering whether people whose alphabets go from right to left
make their smilies this way too (-:.

Of course, I used to write from right to left when I was young, too!  All my
youthful artworks are signed "YOJ" instead of "JOY" as a result.  Drove my
mom absolutely nuts, she was afraid I'd never learn to read.

It was very satisfying when I started studying Arabic, though!  (-:

yoj
