Summary | Emoticons are everywhere: in messages, statuses, and emails. They are supposed to indicate emotions and add nuance when something is funny or sarcastic. Humorous texts should need a flag to alert readers of their jocular intent. Communicating emotions through emojis shows either an inability to communicate complex feelings in writing or unwillingness thereof.

Even older users are getting used to emojis since there is such a huge selection from which to choose. Emojis do however not replace written communication but serve to indicate emotions or add emphasis.
