Re: a colleague skyped me..
... for some advice. I replied there were two options: a) do a particular thing b) do some other thing.
I then pressed return and looked on in dismay to see that Skype had, in my already sent message, translated A and B into the angel and beer emojis respectively.
Yeah, Skype's shit for that.
Best bet, is to tell it that every message you send is pre-formatted, put two exclamation marks on a single line, followed by an empty line, and then your message.
Which is still shit to have to do, but an easy habit to pick up and it tells skype to keep it's stinky fat fingers away from the text you actually want to send
