RE: Are You Out Of Your Mind?
Wow what did I do to read such awesome debate from Divan!
Thank you for the summary and translation. I couldn't help but agree with Divan. Although I would say that emojis do a pretty good job of expressing our emotions, the importance of words is not going to be undermined any time soon. Without words, how would we know what the emoji is trying to tell us? We have to interpret the emoji's information in our brain, and for that, we need words. So, linguists and literature enthusiasts should stop worrying about this and not be intimidated by our beloved emojis. If only they supplement the words and make their effect more pronounced.
PS: I owe you for this one, big time 🙏🏻
Divan said, "I told you so!" Haha!
What worries me is the "sy" and "ty" and "slp" the youth are using these days in their texts.
sy - see you
ty - thank you
slp - sleep
Only they know what it means! 🙈
Oh gosh! Did we not do the same. ROFL Umh..
I will then rather vote for emojis.
PS: Take a look at the following site.

Now click on the very last word for interest sake: - python print.
It puts a (•ิ‿•ิ) on my face!
And I thought only my girls were doing this. Then they have the audacity to roll their eyes if we tell them that we don't know the meaning of their slang and abbreviations. Lol. Languages are always evolving and so are humans!
Thank you for sharing the link. Yes it did put a wide :)))) on my face.
PS. Pay my regards to Divan :)
