Hardly a stretch at all, however, the narrow-minded simpleton find it difficult to see any relation between an "Emoticon" and a facial expression in reality. Quite sad really.
I have more bugs in my head than a hundred copies of Windows ME. I have enough trouble parsing facial expressions when I see real people, let alone text renderings as far removed from what they're supposed to represent as "o3o" is from a picture of two kissing faces.
