The Zen smiley kinda looks like it's got really long hair, not arms. 
See?

Why can't that be easier to type, or at least be shorter?

If it's a great favourite of yours you might be able to put it on a pre-defined quick key. I doubt anyone is going to change the button list of smileys displayed below the text box on the posting page. Changing English spelling isn't going to happen and you haven't even suggested an alternative word. Last time this sort of thing came up there wasn't even much keenness on the part of the staff to add new shortcut text as for the original text smileys.

That's because we made a cock up on the 
smiley and it interfered with text. I was told not to pick any more shortcut text.

But it was funy when you did that. Hours of entertainment o-o 
Still, sommersault is a git of a word. Plus, it's not sommersaulting it's cartwheeling. Which is easier to spell.

Sommersault was the name on the list. Blame whoever asked for it to go on the list.

Then why didn't you draw a sommersaulting smiley?
Zen smiley
Mina Posted Jul 9, 2004
I didn't draw anything at all. i don't have talent like that! It can't be a cartwheel, the arms aren't long enough.

Err, 'you' in the wider sense then.
...and it's flipping the wrong way to be sommersaulting.

Ah, so you mean I'm supposed to face the machine, not type with my hnads behind my back?

Mina Posted Jul 9, 2004
Oh that explains why you always seem to be talking out of your backside.

It certainly explains the proliferation of typos in recent weeks.
