I recently came across a version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that tells the classic story using emoticons. No, honestly, I really did. What’s more, I’m recommending it to everyone:

As a quick summary of the plot it’s brilliant (I imagine it would be useful for anyone who has never really understood what was going on) and it made me laugh no end.

Pride and Prejudice is called Orgullo y Prejuicio in Spanish. Unfortunately I seem completely unable to pronounce the Spanish version of the title, and so challenge other non-Spaniards to practice their pronunciation by giving it a go. ;-)
