Re: the "fun factor" bit.

I'm just now realizing GitHub has conditioned me to be weary of the : character due to the insane tendency to pop up an emoji selector thingie.

Is there any way to disable that?

although it's annoying to have to need to do this, sounds like a good idea for a quick little side project. compile a list of your client-side grievances and make an extension?

Weary or wary?

Initially I thought weary was the right term (more of a sad, tired dejectedness that the : character was overloaded), but I guess both words work equally well, since now I'm also a bit cautious hitting that key.
