Alphabets retained in memory as images, put together as words and sentences convey a meaning and conjure different images.
Punctuation is derived to save me from drowning in a sea of words, but the human mind does not stop being ingenious.
We turned full circle and returned to images …er, emojis.
I dream of myself drowning in an ocean of emojis making weird faces, and I cannot decipher what they want from me.
So, I start working at deriving a script with emojis used in place of words, and the punctuation marks would be words.
I invite applications from words with logic, to stem the flow of emotions and moods – to induce humans to think, rather than follow and flow where the majority goes.

Love the line: “drowning in an ocean of emojis making weird faces”
Emojis: I use them sparingly, like furnishings to the cocktail words make. 🤩🍸

At least with actual words you wonder less about why a certain emoji was used.

Oh, how I love your last sentence! It certainly seems at times there’s less and less critical thinking going on.

It is an encouraged trait, as it facilitates manipulation of minds. Advertising, social media campaigns, politics all benefit from it.

I LOVE grammar. Diagraming sentences was something I would do for fun! I don’t think I could handle returning to images as a form of writing!

Very well done. I reluctantly began using a few emojis, but basically don’t like them, prefer using my words to tell feelings, thoughts.

Emojis save time, but lack the grace and expressive ability of words.

Seriously! I think we need many tools in our communication bag to get our message across!!! (Maybe not the exclamation mark) … ?

Nice phrase: “drowning in an ocean of emojis making weird faces” Sometimes I don’t know what some of these emojis are trying to imply.

Exactly! It is difficult to label each with a unique word.

what an interesting concept, the grammar of a visual language…
the use of emojis requires conscious thought on my part, so, in a sense, I’m a tourist with a dog-eared copy of a emoji dictionary
thought-provoking, as always!

sometimes it makes sense to use emoji like for laughing or smiling instead of writing hahaha or LOL or smiling.
