Assume you are typing out a parenthesized sentence ending in a smiley face [for example, (opening parenthesis) The weather is nice today :) (closing parenthesis)]. How do you adjust for the extra parenthesis?
Treat the smiley face as the closing parenthesis (The weather is nice today :)
Type the extra parenthesis (The weather is nice today :))
Replace the smiley face with a different symbol (The weather is nice today :D)
Replace the smiley face with an emoji (The weather is nice today 😀)
Replace the opening and closing parenthesis with a different symbol*
Rework the sentence to remove the need for parentheses and/or an emoticon**
Something else not mentioned above
Multiple of the above/interchangeably
I have been in this situation before but haven’t quite figured out a solution
This has never happened to me/I’ve never been in this situation before
