Summary | Emojis are so popular that we can even find them in professional emails. Emojis are used to "humanize" a message, but people should use them with caution (e.g. with your boss or clients). According to Pierre Halté, people think that those who do not want to use emojis are older, but there are young people who refuse to use them in their text messages

Summary | Our written and computer-mediated communication is requiring more and more non-textual signs. First the likes of this " :-) " came along and now text messages and emails have begun to look like someone spilled colorful candy all over them. Emojis also easily lead to misunderstandings, so the manicure emoji can be misinterpreted as a weird foot by people who are not in the know.

Summary | First emojis have appeared in official writing: the Norwegien government included emojis in one of their letters. Norwegian linguists are critical of this saying that we need to establish rules about emoji use first because they are easily misunderstood. Emojis have entered our everyday communication so profoundly that we now read even workplace emails without emojis as rude.
