I don't speak good emoji though; I understand the smiley face, but what does posting the family emojis mean? What is it used for?
Nobody I know or have seen online replaces random words with emoji for brevity. That's annoying. At worst I've seen ironic posts or trying to be hip outlets adding the emoji for a word after the word itself, or use them as bullet point markers.
It reminds me of a thing where it was like, "elephants are so smart because they can use this trumpet to communicate danger", and someone pointed out that humans can do that too by using words. Mind blown.
