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 😄

    I see emojis as text’s substitute for body language. Body language is supposed to supplement the spoken word. Emojis should supplement the paragraph.

    Trying to communicate with more emojis than text is akin to trying to communicate with more body language than spoken word.

    Ever try to say something but forget the word, and you try to convey the meaning with body language instead? Overuse of emojis implies a similar lapse of thought.
