If you're on Windows, just press:

Windows + ; (semicolon)

It pops up this little menu where you can pick all kinds of emoticons and stuff. Super handy if you're lazy like me and don't want to Google them every time 😂.

Quick heads-up though: the selection is kinda limited compared to what you get on your phone or online, but it's still pretty cool. If you're into more options, check out "Emoticon Hub" or hit up GitHub's massive emoji list.

Also… I have no clue what the shortcut is on Mac (if there even is one). Any Mac users here? Drop a comment and help a clueless user out!

What does that have to do with it?

If this is supposed to be a “gottem” moment because it appears I’m hating on the British style, please know I didn’t know that until others chimed in (hence my question). And actually, I prefer the British way of writing some acronyms without the dots to the American style, but writing ASCII like it’s a word (Ascii) looks really bad.

ASCII is short for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. And as another commenter already pointed out, only the A for America is capitalized. It was just a joke playing on the way it's written (and the fact that there's the MAGA movement)

It's joking about A, which in ASCII stands for America, being the only letter capitalized.
