When talking to someone face to face you get the message (in most cases) - they want to portray ,through their facial expressions, body language or tone of voice. But what about when you are online and talking to someone you can't see or hear? Enter the emoji. These can be helpful by softening a comment. They can help you express, joy, sadness, empathy, excitement and other emotions. Especially when a comment might be viewed in the wrong way by overly sensitive persons. Do you find them helpful at times? I do , and l will use them a bit more at the end of certain comments.

Yes emojis come in handy and I use them often when texting. I always end a conversation with any one of my kids or grandkids with a heart.

Yeah, I find emojis helpful too! They add emotion and clarity to messages, but too many can be a bit overwhelming—like every word has an emoji. No to abuse hahaha

I do not like to see them dotting every line. Overuse cannot be good.

I often use them but sometimes I am lazy and add the (lol) instead of the real thing

When my laptop was out of service some years ago l used a mobile phone which refused to accommodate emojis - so l was forced to substitute.

Some people tend to user-use them and stickers and videos in texts, but yes they are helpful

I think it is better not to use too many of them in a single post.

Yes, they help get the point across. Sometimes I add haha at the end of the comment to indicate that I found their comment funny and that I am trying to be funny as well.

In general, I don't use them much but they are very useful at times.

I actually use "emojis" in speech these days. I might say something like "Trump has been a great president so far. Whistling emoji."

I've sometimes said something in jest and it's been taken literally. I use a lot of emojis now, especially here.
