O/T Emojis and LOL

[navypie]

Who else hates people who use emojis and puts LOL on the end of everything? Now I'm not denying that I might have used emojis in the past but never LOL. I don't have a problem with the younger generation using them but FFS , I was born in 1962 and when I see people around my age using them it's fcukin embarrassing .

I never use emojis and never type 'lol', unless I'm moaning about chavs who do type 'lol'.

It's strange isn't it that an a fast developing world of technology people still have issues with language when it evolves. Imagine us all still talking/writing like Shakespeare and trying to fit it all into a text or tweet etc.

The way we communicate will continue to change as we cross language and cultural divides and technology will be the driver for this.

I actually think emoji's are a good thing, they can emphasis the tone of a tweet, message, forum post etc. The written word can very easily be misunderstood, a bit of tongue in cheek sarcasm could really offend but end it with a tongue sticking out emoji and it becomes clear it was not meant to be taken too seriously.
