Typical example. I don't even know what that particular emoji means. It adds zero to the thread (I guess other than giving the poster a feeling of some satisfaction that he is 'getting back' at me in some fashion.

If this is the start of an emojis storm then I'll probably stop watching this thread but I will feel some very small amount of satisfaction in that I have provided the opportunity for a few people to feel better about themselves in this trying world.

People in the United States are moving to a abbreviated form of conversation. At one time they communicated in full sentences, not so much any more.

For the more sensitive and polite reader, a heads up -- its offensive.

I like cuddling up next to my wife, under a blanket and reading a lengthy prose about how to tighten a garden hose. It is also nice to have a fire burning. Since I don’t have a fireplace, I use matches!

Is "garden hose" symbolic for something?
