Hi,

I've noticed a lot of my friends use these graphical smilies and other stuff used on Facebook EG smily or sad face.

Having a dictionary or setting in NVDA to announce such characters since I find it confusing when my firnedsfriends use them and I don't know what they mean.

This could probably be achieved with a speech dictionary. Whether or
not it is the roll of the NVDA developers to produce such a dictionary
is debateable, and I would argue that it's not.

HOw possible would it be for users to trade speech dictionaries?

In 2010.2 and in deed in the last couple of months, NVDA has announced the symbols that you're talking of, e.g. :), :(, etc.

Update:
A user has indeed created a what's called "emoticon" dictionary which announces these items which can be installed into NVDA (don't know the format, but it's there). thanks.
