Okay, I need your help, Norma. I don't know what that emoji means. I'm illiterate in emoji-speak except for the LOL face, the smiley face (although theire are confusing variations on the smiley face), the crying face, and the pile of shit. I haven't a clue what the rest of them mean. I've asked my friends to stop including emojis in their emails to me because I don't understand them. However, I need to learn so I'll start with the emoji you left here, and maybe I'll eventually catch on. Thanks, Norma, and anyone else who wants to explain emojis to me.
First of all, I hated (and kinda still hate) emojis. My Aunt Lee, who died last summer, began using them a million years ago & I thought they were dumb. She loved them. I guess she was right because the world followed her, not me.
Though I don't use them constantly I do rely on them with texts because emails, texts & comments can easily NOT convey the real meaning of what the writer's writing. I can be (clutching pearls whilst I type) a titch snarky.
I know you'll be shocked to read that.
The emojis can help to soften the read, the shade, the sarcasm, I think? I don't know why the emojis on my Mac are so small, wish they were larger.
SO, all this is to answer your question- The emoji I used in your reply is an emoji thingy blowing a kiss!
Thanks, Norma. I find that I'm increasingly being misunderstood and therefore need to insert a smiley face to "soften" the read, as you say. However, I don't know WHICH smiley face to insert because there's a variety. I'm going to have to find an emoji glossary to help in my decision. Yes, your Aunt Lee was ahead of her time.
I couldn't cleary see your emoji because it appears quite small on my screen. I thought it was a face with a wine stain on it. Ha! (Maybe I should insert a smiley face emoji here instead of the "ha!"). Fuck me. Modern life is too overwhelming.
You're pulling at my "awwwwww that's adorable" reflex. That is the cutest thing I have seen all week Norma.
