Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

    Because this isn’t a Spot The Dog book, and we don’t need little picture of all the nouns.

    On their own they’re ambiguous and vague; with the matching word they’re completely redundant.

    What good does it do to say “I had pizza [little picture of pizza] for lunch”?

    I’ll use the occasional :) or such as befits the tone, but pointless hieroglyphics are pointless and annoying.
