It's annoying to get personal emails with the little signs, but I even get work emails at work with yellow faces proclaiming the importance of the message with a wow face. If it was generational, I might not have so much bother, but people my age have gotten on the emoji wagon.
Now for Pete's sake they are options to pick as new pieces in the Monopoly game! Something created for speed and grammar laziness is daring to be replacement for my Scottie dog or old race car! No, I'm not going to stand for that without a fight. I used my voting power and voted to keep all the original player pieces.You can vote here for the next Monopoly pieces. You can also vote to keep the original. Please do.

I hate the emojis. As an adult if I cannot express in words what I need to convey in a message or email then there is no reason for me to send it to begin with.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I knew I couldn't be the only one annoyed by them.
DeleteI've never used them ever. I keep trying to wean myself of using lol.
ReplyDeleteText abbreviations for real words-I fall into that at times as well.
DeleteI love them. :-) I use them all the time. (sorry!)
ReplyDeleteFor you, Lorraine, I'll make an exception!
DeleteI never, ever use emojis. With my glasses, I must get really close to the computer screen to see the expression on the face...so annoying.
ReplyDeleteI'm an abuser of emojis! Do not go to my most recent post. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI never use them in work emails of course, but in personal correspondence, I find they reduce the risk of misinterpretation. I'm sarcastic, so it's easy to go awry outside of verbal communication.
I have a rather mixed relationship with them... but would never use them in a professional communication. Jx
