I love them, but I’ve never seen them work here, except for the ones you make with punctuation.
I have been told that it’s inappropriate of me to use emojis, as I am not a 13 year old girl, but I have done many inappropriate things and nobody died so I’ll continue to take my chances.
I actually like them. Sometimes I am a dick and they help to let people know I haven’t had my morning tea yet and transformed into a rainbow machine yet.
I saw that one, @Stinley, and wondered how you did it.
I like emoticons emojis and use them occasionally on Fluther.
I think they’re a simple way of taking the ambiguity out of a lot of statements. Snark or not. :-)
I receive a bunch. There must be a million varieties of the things. Sometimes I try to hunt one of them out from the lists in this phone. Apparently I have way too much spare time.
I do not often use emoji,
but when I do,

I use a few. I use the sunflower, palm tree, smiley faces, smiley with sunglasses, frown face, frustrated face, sun, gift box, cars, hearts, Christmas tree, that’s all I can think of right now.
Yes, I use them, mostly for silly fun texts. As well, my husband isn’t big on long messages, so there are a few that I use to tell him when I have left work and where I am stopping on the way. Four or five emojis instead of two sentences works best for us.
