I think there are many such kind of things which we don’t know even though we are addicted to those stuff. Emoji are used to share our expressions, mood, happy & sad feeling, it is one of the easy working trick of sending to others instead of writing many words. Let’s come to the point that I loved you article and thanks for making aware about the day. My students would love to know about it who are taking career counselling & CV writing & cover letter writing tips from the <a href="https://www.cvfolks.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">CV Folks</a> experts in UK, So they can also proud to know about this day and can celebrate in a different way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706004785298442663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53702367825712211332017-07-24T17:34:47.303-04:002017-07-24T17:34:47.303-04:00I second what Gigi said.I second what Gigi said.Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-15922278665109855592017-07-24T17:34:30.710-04:002017-07-24T17:34:30.710-04:00love these smiles and hearts on FB.love these smiles and hearts on FB.Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-36776171387791487272017-07-24T17:34:06.656-04:002017-07-24T17:34:06.656-04:00that is a lovely story.

I think I write coherent sentences in English; I certainly endeavor to do so. Emojis do not bother me nearly as much as "yada, yada, yada".

We have the same amount as people always had, it's just that a lot of people choose to use it differently, then blame "not enough time" as an excuse for not doing something else. It's just choices. That's certainly not an excuse for sloppy language use, or short-cut abbreviations, or using emojis. I don't use them, and I don't really see any use or value in them. Most of the time, users of such are just being lazy.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-18383322113990282122017-07-23T15:40:55.258-04:002017-07-23T15:40:55.258-04:00I text quite a bit with family and friends.

I have acquiesced to the trend of not putting the pronoun I at beginning of sentences, as in "Be there at ten" instead of "I'll be there at ten." The implied subject is easily understood. However, there are times when I catch myself and think that I must not abandon that "I." <br /><br />Emojis are something I have some fun with. I especially like the heart one that adds that little extra bit of comfort or affection. Not to get political, but I have often wished for an emoji that shows sickness these days. And, a happy face can make sure that your message is taken in a positive manner.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-49986162495844475792017-07-23T14:05:08.093-04:002017-07-23T14:05:08.093-04:00I was happy to see that Louise mentioned Rhys and ...I was happy to see that Louise mentioned Rhys and Debs as favorite authors, too!Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-26763949930562515742017-07-23T14:03:45.431-04:002017-07-23T14:03:45.431-04:00Oh, Hank, I can't use my thumbs either.

You just move your finger across the letters you want, and it fills it in for you. Yes, you need to proof it, but that still takes less time than trying to hit all the letters individually! Most phones have it; check your "store" for keyboard add-ins. Everyone in my family, from age 12 to 78, texts. We also email and talk on the phone a lot. Apparently, we are big communicators!Ingrid Thofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063912686011336076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-45245819203210372852017-07-23T12:36:03.489-04:002017-07-23T12:36:03.489-04:00Not that I'm much of a party person, but a cou...Not that I'm much of a party person, but a couple of weeks ago I was attending a party that about 20 people had said they were going to be there.

I don't use Instagram or any of those other things.<br /><br />On Twitter, I write coherently (or at least in full sentences) and very occasionally use emojis.<br /><br />I finally gave in and put texting on my phone last Saturday. On there, because I hate to waste so much time typing, I do shorten the words. "to" or "too" tends to become "2", that kind of thing. It's a convenience. But I don't shorten words to the point where others wouldn't understand them without a translation guide. And I don't use emojis. Hell, I still use a flip phone for cryin' out loud. I only just figured out how to take a picture with the phone...<br /><br />I am hoping that the writing I do (reviews of books, CDs and concerts) gets taken seriously, so I think that communicating too much in the shorthand of a teenager would damage my goal. If I'm talking to a friend I admit it is easier to use said shorthand to get the conversation over and done with. But when communicating with the people who deal with my articles or authors that I converse with, an appearance of professionalism is important.<br /><br />Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-16204164033762861012017-07-23T12:09:57.965-04:002017-07-23T12:09:57.965-04:00Texting is relatively new for me.
