Thanks for the win @bengy. I appreciate it. 😁

I use emojis a bit, usually to add expression to what I've written but also for a bit of phone for birthdays etc.

Honestly my friend I blame emojis as much as twitter and test message for ruining peoples ability to speak clearly to one another.  I find them amusing and they can help at times.   
I just think there has to be a line but I know like most thing it will keep growing and dumbing folks down.  Just my view my friend. Thanks for sharing!!!

I use a lot of them. Don't know when I started using them but I do so often. My only problem with them is when I chat with someone who only uses them. When I make the time to type, *'how are you?*', then you just respond with 👍, makes me start hating emojis.

I think the old version of emojis(like `:)` `:|` `:(` `:D` `:P`  ………)are more then enough for adding expressions to your text.

Also I don't really like emojis because on most mobile device the capacity of symbols is limited and therefor emojis often replace useful (math) symbols(like `¹` `²` `³` `⁴` `⁵` `⁶` `⁷` `⁸` `⁹` `⁰` `⁽` `⁾` `⁼` `⁺` `⁻` `₁` `₂` `₃` `₄` `₅` `₆` `₇` `₈` `₉` `₀` `₍` `₎` `₌` `₊` `₋` `∇`) I cannot write anymore.

And in general I think most of them are completely useless. Some people tend to place the emoji resembling a word behind the word(like "…cherry`cherry emoji`…").

Also I think as useful as they may be they can also lead to some confusion at the other end because most emoji look the same on first sight.
Also a problem is if the sender uses a wrong emoji or something.

So I would say they are no advantage.

I'm not really a huge fan, I very really use them. However, the concept of a pictographic language is something I have encountered in numerous novels, and it sounds pretty awesome. I don't know if emojis will be the path to that, but perhaps eventually there will be something similar that we use. For me, it's just easier to write out what I'm saying. Using emojis would make it take longer. I agree though that the capacity to include nuance is definitely worth while.

Sometime I think that emoji user is a person who can't  spread their word.  They need help then they choose emoji. 
But then i kno  that the emoji make their post is stronger. They not just want to say or write something,  they want to send something from the heart. So they will use emoji well and a lot.
However i am a bad emoji user.  So i rarely use it. 
I just write then up to the reader to understand my mind.

I don't think to use emojis.  It is probably because I don't do a lot of texting.  I'm not great at typing and trying to use that tiny keyboard is just too much.  Some people make fun of my texts because I write in full sentences and follow the rules of grammar.  

Also because I don't text often people don't text me.  Frequently, they will call me to tell me they sent me a text.  I get them to tell me what it was about and respond verbally.   So, I don't see many emojis.

I know that emojis have expanded from variations of the smiley face to other items.  I think if they make sense it is okay to use.  I know my sister the chef will often use the food emojis.

I think society really "jumped the shark" when The Emoji Movie was released.  This is why aliens won't talk to us!!!

I love emoji. It's like you say: it can give written text an obvious nuance which makes sure something does't come across the wrong way. Just add a 😉, or a 😛 and people know not to take what you say too serious.
It's a shame I always have to go and look up the codes when i'musing my laptop. It's so much easier to implement them when using your phone.

I use the non-smiley ones mostly to make something stand out, like the 🌺 for the garden challenge, the 💡 to mark something important or a 🏆 in a contest title.

It shouldn't be overdone, though. I've seen posts with so any emojis in it that I did not have a single idea what the post was about, lol.

I think you never have enough emojis... Often I'm looking for one, and then it appears it simply does not exist... 


However, it needs to be obvious for everyone where an emoji stands for. I use the upside down smiley pretty often on Discord. Not so long ago, one of my fellow @teampossible members asked about the meaning of the smiley. It appeared everyone had his own interpretation, and on top of that, it was hard to explain what I meant by using it.

To be honest lol I think they are a waste of time i very rarely use them lol

Emojis are great for initiating sex

I like using emoji's! They add some much needed colour sometimes. I usually only stick to the happy faces so I don't really need a huge variety, but they can definitely be fun. I'm surprised more people don't use them in comments... maybe they don't know that they can? Steemit needs a smiley tool!

　　ﾚ,

I like Emojis, probably just as much as I like Gif's. At work that employee chat room is one to be admired as the greatest minds battle for the perfect gif to send. With that in mind, there was that one news article of someone sending emojis in a cold call email. Terrible idea? That was the question. I don't think it's appropriate in the workplace with expectations of course.   Even then, our culture today is running towards breaking barriers and maybe communicating via gif's and emoji's will be the norm.
