As usual, I’m different from most.
I think emojis are childish and for girls. Just say what you have to say, and you don’t need to add pictures to it.
Call me a curmudgeon, but I feel like a child using them. I cringe when my male friends use them, mostly because they get it wrong or it’s a desperate try to look hip.
Despite my penchant for dick humor and even the turd emoji, I won’t use them either.
What are your favorite emojis?
Everybody has their own preferences. I find them annoying and superfluous. It just seems like clutter instead of saying something directly.
My experience has been that females are more likely to use them. It also seems like they are for a younger generation than mine, so I don’t use them.
They also can be misinterpreted to mean the wrong thing, something I avoid at all costs.
They add color to the text, but not always meaning. My world is black-and-white.
