If you are one of those who think that the English language is doomed thanks to Internet acronyms (lol, smh), text speak, and even leet speak, now you have another new reason to lament the death of English as we know it -- emojis.
Obviously, we would much prefer getting updated with what is going on with a few select family members' and friends' lives than other Facebook friends out there.
