While I like emoticons the problem with them is that you can't be sure what they will actually be interpreted as. An example of this is the emoticon that looks like two hands with the palms together. It could be interpreted as a high five or as praying. That's why I prefer to avoid them and prefer to use emotitexts instead since there is less chance of misinterpretation, like [smile].

Doesn’t really matter what its name is. What matters is how it is seen by the user. Y’all know the meme/tale of the mother who used the “laughing so hard I cried” emoji to tell all the relatives about Aunt Edna’s death.

That said, without attaching some sort of 'smiley' to a phrase/sentence intended to be light-heartedly humorous it is likely to be taken seriously, or even worse cause an avalanche of faux-outrage. Idle thought - is 'Taylor Swift' the entertainer's real name or a literary reference to Jonathan. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 04-07-2024 at 07:31 PM. Reason: Added: Idle thought |
