Let the emojis fly…..

Where’s the “Don’t Tread On Me” emoji?

I lost my frowny face button….

It’s nice to have a face-to-face conversation again.

He’ll need one of these:

Smile, you are nearsighted. Well lets face it; variety includes a choice; if you can see through to that exam.

Why does everyone call emoticons emojis?

When my son was about 5, the doctor gave him a vision test. For little kids, it was a bunch of little pictures — a crescent moon, a pine tree, a house, a sailboat, etc. He got about half the symbols right.

I told the doctor, “Why not use the letters — he’s never seen a sailboat in his life.” (We live in the middle of the desert in Arizona.) So she turned the chart over and he got everything right.

There’s one good thing emojis. I don’t have to study a foreign language to make myself incomprehensible to others. I just use words that aren’t part of popular sound bites. I’m not anti-modernism, I just find the idea of expressing oneself with half a dozen pictures and not one word inane.

I would just like to note that gocomics has no edit button…. and I typed yu (going to fast) but auto correct switched to just “u” not you….

Kids aren’t being taught cursive, but hieroglyphics of several forms, like the graphics instead of word discriptions of actions/directions in programs that mean “good luck” on figuring how to use software?

Why are Trump and the anti-aliens so averse to “non-English speakers”??
