I've never heard emoticons referred to as emoji, mainly because people don't use emoticons anymore (unless they still post on forums). It seems like a deliberate editorial decision. I would prefer to preserve the distinction, however, for reasons GP stated.
- JohnFen 3y agoI use emoticons when texting (because I'm a graybeard), but my phone translates them into emojis before sending. So I've just taken to calling them all emojis.
- oneeyedpigeon 3y agoMy beard might be even greyer because I still think of them as 'smileys' :)
- JohnFen 3y agoIt took me years to change the habit of calling them smileys!
- ClassyJacket 3y agoDo you mean you use smileys like :) :( :P ? Emotions were the little images you could place amongst text in MSN Messenger.
