Prompt: What are your favorite emojis?
Nothing has contributed more to the decline in language skills than emojis.
Imagine if Melville had used a cutsy white whale emoji in Moby Dick!
Imagine if Stella said, “I’ve always [Adult Diaper emoji] on the [Hugging emoji] of [Who Are You emoji].”
Or if Oliver said, “[Hands Up In Supplication emoji], I’d [Face With Hearts For Eyes emoji] some more, please.”
Or if Rick told Ilsa, “Here’s looking at you, [Baby Goat emoji]” and, “I’m no good at being [King emoji], but it doesn’t take much to [Binocular emoji] that the problems of [Three Little People emoji] don’t amount to a [Very *Very* Large Pile Of Beans emoji] in this [Loco Crazy emoji] [Earth emoji].”
Lose their impact, don’t they?
The path of emojis is a doomed one.
Just look what happened to the ancient Egyptians…
