    Can’t distractions from the text sometimes be exactly what you want?

    And have you seen an emoji perfectly complete a meme when being used for mood? How about convey lighthearted intent when discussing a serious subject?

      They can but most of the time they aren’t. That’s the key here: most of the time emojis only add noise, to the point that the shreds of legitimate usage (that can be conveyed through other means) don’t really justify keeping the cons of the noise.

      It isn’t like anyone would implement my idea though. I’m mostly doing like that old man screaming at the sky, or something like this.
