No, that doesn't work. It has to be after sentence close but before the next one begins. Once you :woop: know the rules, you can break them. :coal:

Some of the wordy emotes could be part of the sentence. I'd post an example, but that would be too much :effort:.

Maybe I should just :getout:?

But, doesn't that make the emote separate from the sentence? I could say like "I'm gay. ;) " and people might not associate the ;) with me sayin j/k to the "I'm gay" part.

Place the emoticon after the punctuation. Then punch yourself in the face for using an emoticon.
