Emojis aren’t professional (depending on who you ask) and can be overused (look at a few popular GitHub projects’ READMEs - emojis on every bullet point of the feature list, for example)
- tester34 6y agoI agree that they aren't the most professional thing to use, but I'm not sure why I agree Maybe it's some kind of bias?
- fhifjfhjjjk 6y agoemojis aren't "professional" is your reasoning? is it 1987? should women also wear their skirts below the knee?
- colejohnson66 6y agoI didn’t say that they weren’t. I’m simply saying that some do think that. Whether I do or don’t is irrelevant as I’m only speculating on the reason why.
- Kaze404 6y agoWhat a weird reasoning. In most contexts I've seen, "professionalism" doesn't really do anything except strip away all the human factor that goes into every interaction. Personally, I don't care whether the person I'm talking to is being "professional" or not. What I care is that they're respectful and can properly communicate their thoughts. With that mindset, emojis (and emoticon) can actually add context to interactions, considering how much context is lost when communicating over text. A simple smiley face at the end of a sentence can go a long way in my experience :)
