I Stopped Using Emojis

I actually went a step further and stopped using words, because it turns out people also interpret them differently. Some people, for example, cannot read sarcasm.

Now I use sequent calculus, and make sure that every term is well-defined before I use it.

Sorry, I’m gonna need you to start over with 5,000 words on the history of words before I can process this joke.

Be sure to include the considerations that went into standardizing the spellings to make sure that we can't express dangerous ideas with doubleplusungood words.

god can you imagine living with a standards-enforcing AI that takes your speech and makes sure to convert it to known-safe dictionary words?

I've had long meaningful discussions that were nothing but links to Wikipedia pages.

...After reading the first half of your comment, I thought you were serious. Only after the second half did it finally dawn on me that you were probably being sarcastic. Seriously.

Good job reading the entire comment and using context to suss out the likely meaning and intent behind the words. That's actually a pretty rare skill these days in many parts of the Internet. ;)

(Seriously.)
