Emotion icons: :) for a smiley face, :( for a sad face, <3 for a heart ... every icon you use helps you to convey meaning. I’m studying English Literature, so writing properly is very important to me and I get cross when I make obvious mistakes. When I send a text message, I write in standard English – I never use short forms ‘R U OK’ or ‘I LV U’ to ask if someone is OK or to tell them you love them. Yet the whole point of texting is to be able to send a message and receive a reply as fast as possible, so why is it that I spend extra precious seconds searching through the emoticons for the right one to express how I feel?
I actually think that sometimes emoticons are really useful to depict how you feel and to clarify messages which may be misinterpreted. Here’s an example:
- ‘Stop annoying me!’ :-(
- ‘Stop annoying me!’ ;-)
- ‘Stop annoying me!’ :@ (Angry face)
To me, the sad face shows that I am feeling sad about something and that the person I am talking to isn’t making me feel any better. The winky face says that I don’t mind the person being annoying and I am just teasing them, while the angry face tells them that I am not in a good mood and don’t want to be annoyed by someone at that moment.
An added bonus is that the emoticons often speak for themselves and sometimes do not need text to interpret them, which is brilliant when I’m texting in Spanish and unable to think of the right words to say. I’m also acutely aware that as a foreigner I do not yet have the subtleties needed to be able to speak the intricacies of a language and that sometimes it is possible to be too blunt and direct! Emoticons help to convey the extra subtlety that I miss in text.

EliminarI use emoticons when talking with my friends, but if it is someone known, for example my friends of the university or my family and i send emojis like "😂 or 😭" But sometimes I send emojis as "😡, 💩 or the raised middle finger" also send animals and many rare things. If it's a new people, i do not use, maybe for be friendly or not so cold, like this " :) " but no more.

ResponderEliminarYes, I sometimes use emoticons to express what I'm thinking for the message that I've received, or to make it more funny.
ResponderEliminarI usually use faces, ��not all of the expressions, the monkey face with all of its gestures����, and hands ��. I think that this is a very good way to make the other people know your mood or to make conversations more pleasant than a serious conversation with someone who doesn't like emoticons.
I use several emoticons and very followed, because they are a way of expressing me easier, and more with so much variety that there is, but sometimes of so many that there is complicated to find the one that is correct to express what we want, but rest Everything is very useful and easy with them.
ResponderEliminarEmoticons are the new way of expressing ourselves, and it is going to be the future of writing, and that tells us that we are moving forward more and more, are the following: 🙊🤔😏🤗 the monkey covering the mouth that I use to express tenderness , The face of doubt that I use it for the same, the perverted face to say things wrong and that of the two little hands when I say something ironic or I'm in a bad mood

I usually use the emoticons, but i think, in some cases is dangerous, because all the people don't have the same interpretation 😧, and sometimes the context is'nt helpfull, so when i chat whit someone i don't know too match i don't use emojis.

ResponderEliminarI think that emoticons are very good invention, because the people can comunicate better and convey with other persons. I write sometimes with emoticons, but almost always when i gonna say something at my friends.
I use some emoticons, when I want to express something short, I use them with my family and friends every day, the emoticon I use is pacman:v, I really like this emoticon and I use it when I make jokes.
ResponderEliminarThere are emoticons that I do not use, for example the faces of monkeys, I hate those emoticons, I think they do not have sense. The faces in love are other emoticons that I do not use much, because I am a very cold person, I dont like to show when i am in love.
I think that the emoticons are symbols that facilitate the communication of people.
Yes, I use emoticons. For example, when I am happy 😁, sad 😢, angry 😡 or tired 😓. I use them because I think it's easier and I don't have to write long sentences. I think it's good because emoticons make conversations more fun and less formal. I use them depending on the situation, for example, when I text a friend I use emoticons but when I text my boss, obviously I don't use them.
