*Long post alert*. May seem like -- Emoticons - Uses and disadvantages ?(2 Marks)😛😆
Emoticons are good but not so great means to communicate, express or emote. I mean -- Is it a happy wow, mockery wow or a sad wow? Is that fiery ball - a sign of anger or resentment? Is it shock or disbelief, a sorry or sad, love or hate feeling?!! Is that a sick face or a worried face? Does like mean "liking something" or just acknowledging! For e.g. Some people like even the death notices of so and so👍🏻😛☺️😴😑😮
*Use some words folks! Express, record, type or talk - whatever suits. When there is a need for words, one must use Emoticons sparingly!😛*
PS: I am not against emoticons. I immensely 🩷😘 them. I am only against this new trend where people are mostly mute and use emoticons instead of words!
The only next worst usage in the chat lingo or anywhere on social n/w sites is "Nice" - nice pic, nice post, nice dress....nice this ....nice that😛 you know what?, if you wanna say "Nice" about a Nice thing, use an emoticon instead ;) !
😝 If you have nothing nice to say - then too emoticon comes to rescue!
