What would an emoji provide over that ascii combo?
- kvdveer 3y agoVariety and reduced ambiguity.
- nilamo 3y agoImmediate understanding from across the room without needing to read a paragraph
- jackothy 3y agoNuance
- account42 3y agoThe opposite of nuance because the image renders differently for different browsers/platforms so you can only assume a very vague meaning.
- sethammons 3y agoI agree on the assuming and the vagueness. Kids these days feel that the thumbs up emoji is like a passive aggressive middle finger, same with a green checkbox -- and they are apparently bothered by the ellipsis too while we are at it -- not understanding that it is totally valid punctuation and what it can represent. The fact that these individuals are absolutely wrong comes from the pictograms being vague.
