        Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now, where were we?

      :P is appropriate a lot of times when 😛 is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. 😋 Is what they should use. One looks like you’re being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.

        Yeah, there’s a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I’ve seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad. Like “this is amusing but also horrible” or “putting on a smile despite everything being awful”. Any of the smileys on my phone that have more than one curve for the mouth look either crazy or sick.

    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’ve had to re-disable auto correct options multiple times in outlook. I’m perfectly fine capitalizing my own letters because sometimes I type code snippets in emails and don’t want those being treated as if they are sentences that need grammar and spelling corrections. I don’t need your fucking angled quotes either.

        Red or green underlines to say you think there’s a problem are ok. Changing what I’m typing without me telling you to is not.

          Mac OS has autocorrect enabled by default on the entire operating system. Why TF would I want that when I’m typing with a full-sized physical keyboard? It’s especially annoying when you’re typing code. So yeah, I disabled all that crap within a couple of minutes. It’s super annoying.

      When i was about 10 i sent an email to my uncle that said “K cool 🙂” with the wingding smile.

      His client rendered it “K cool J” and he made fun of my “jive”

      Never sent an email using multiple or nonstandard typefaces again. I guess it was a good lesson, but it’s one of those hyper cringe core memories.

          Mine won’t stop conflating “mom” with “mmm” I swear to fucking God I’m about to root my phone just to find a way to remove them both from the built in dictionary.

          The cherry on top? It goes both ways(giggity). So if im texting “thanks mom”, it wants to say " thanks mmm". And vice versa. Of course it’s not all the time, JUST at the exact worst times in conversations.

            It’s gotten terrible. So has voice to text. My work iPhone OEM voice to text is literally useless, as is Google voice to text on my iphone. My Samsung OEM is ass. And the Google one via same Samsung, is getting worse by the hour, but used to be amazing.

    Image Transcription:

    Black text on a white background reading:

    "My phone: Changes :) to 🙂

    “Me:”

    Below the text is a screengrab from the movie Pulp Fiction showing Jules Winnfield looking off to the right and saying “I don’t remember asking you a god damn thing”.

      In my head it translates to an upside down face which is more like a signal of slight discomfort

      That’s right leaning. You may even add another dash.

    Another reason why I miss my full keyboard: I could tell autocorrect to bend over, snap it’s spine and fuck itself with it’s own spinal cord.

      Who in tarnation is cooking an eggplant peach dish that’s splashing? I saw my daughter’s text messages and her boyfriend didn’t even bring any of this strange dish to share when he came over. Kids these days…

      I’ll raise you one better: I don’t know what I’m saying when I use them. I’m sure some have meanings, but I just pick whatever looks funny. I’ve probably caused some confusion before.

    I see this as an example of either how little some people making decisions in tech companies know about what people want or about how different the things I want are from the majority of people.

      Your framing is wrong. They know some people have preferences. They just don’t care because emojis drive engagement, which drives revenue for many of them.
