This is why emoticons and smileys are inevitably here to stay. You either use them, dumb down your message or risk being greatly misunderstood Exclamation

Hey ChinaMovieMagic,

Do you have that beautiful cat with you in China? I would love to live in China, but a preponderance of people from the China postings said that the Chinese would eat such a wonderful cat as yours, and I can't imagine even letting the thought occur that someone would eat my dearly loved cat.

PM me if you wish.
