I must be a computer. I cannot see emojis. They pass my view like advertising I also ignore. I know people who talk in them in long strings, and I am sure I miss half of what they mean.
I'm old, so this may have something to do with it. I wonder now if people are using them even more than I think since I skip over them. Now I will pay attention to find out. Thank you for the head's up about this information. Very interesting!
I am older, too @fitinfun :) Half the time, I'm at a loss for the meaning behind them. I have quite a few younger friends (and some older) that use them as a second language ;) For me, I stick with happy or sad and interpret others' emoji's by the emotional quality attached. As long as I don't get any red, angry faces....I am good ' :)' I much prefer words. lol
Thank you so much for your comment
Haha! I have not even noticed the colors. Additionally, I have my media turned off now since I have a metered wifi plan. This just happened recently.
I have one window open where I can see pics if I need to but I'm mostly in text now. I noticed right away that I could work much faster and no be so distracted. So now I am not seeing emojis at all! I did not even think about this.
My one and only emoji is :) and I use it a lot. I sometimes get a colorful face out of it, but not often. I am pretty sure my son can talk in them. He is 25. I'm sure 10 year olds are fluent now.
