Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

    One thing I really hate is when people use that clap emoji between every word to try to solidify what they’re saying.

    Doing that, or saying “full stop”, etc. doesn’t make me trust what you’re saying more. Explain why what you’re saying is correct. Use words, logic, and sources.

      use that clap emoji

      If people are clapping between words like pre-schoolers singing about Bingo the dog, it’s not accidental. It’s a last resort to prevent our phones auto-correcting everything to the phrase “you dumb motherfucker”.

      I agree, though – ‘full stop’ is just jargon and useless like ‘literally’.
