Man we’re all fucking old people here aren’t we.
Well, back in 19-dickety-2, I used to wear an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
It’s making a comeback except now the kids are using shallots.
Of course they are. Always opting for the more expensive options, these kids.
I work in a technical field. My work email changes “<3” to a heart emoji.
Pardon me, sir. I was not expressing my admiration, its just that your analyte concentration is less than the measuring range of my instrumentation.

It’s not even that it’s completely different - text emojis are more expressive. Less is more. And I’m not arguing that you can’t use emoticons in more than one way to convey different emotions or intentions, but you just can’t use :D and 😀 in the same way. Where you can use :D to be anything from snide, trolling, taking the piss, happy, excited etc you need a whole lot more emoticons to cover all that the :D can cover.
I’ve always just done it backwards, even before emojis were a thing.
I guess I’m just alternative, like Weezer.

We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into 🙂 but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J’s in my mails.
I don’t remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook 🤨
If there’s a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It’s a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.
You inspired me to make this meme OP:
Nice
That’s why I draw them the other way round (-:
I just use a space : )
…on PC.
What about

:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart
