What's up with the "V"? I've seen a couple of your comments that have a lone V at the end of the comment or paragraph.

peace V

I guess its a substitute for "just so you know" or "fyi" or any other "I'm an authority on something" ending. :D

Is that common in your area/culture? I have never seen it before. I'm not sure if most people know what you are trying to convey.

It was more common when emoticons were ANSI characters.

Now that everyone has bitmap emojis, not so much.

I end up with B sometimes because I use iPhone double-space to get a period and accidentally triple space but I miss the third and hit B. Maybe V is the same.

Awesome! Technology to the rescue. Glad it's not just me.
