I'm not knocking emojis across the board, I use them plenty in text conversations. But with something like,
> I’ve been scrolling through your facebook page and would love to work with you.
HN doesn't show emojis but in his email he puts a heart after the word "love." Which seems redundant and breaks up the sentence awkwardly
- Smaug123 5y agoI dunno - I'm definitely a language purist, and even so, I will admit that the emoji is not redundant. It causes the emphasis of the sentence to fall on the word "love", rather than "work". It has a similar effect to "I would *love* to work with you", but without the awkward plain-text formatting.
