    I’m sorry; it’s a coping mechanism for not being able to adequately read mood/tone from written text. I’m trying to quit, or at least dial it down, but it’s a struggle 😞

    With my current progress on that front, we might as well be talking about grammar and punctuation — right …? 😶

      I have a mild suspicion if you were to look at all printed books for the last several hundred years, you are going to find a lot of punctuation. If you are looking for one emoji per sentence, I’d recommend checking out some gen alpha ChatGPT conversations.

      Edit - sorry for coming across so aggressively. I can understand where you’re coming from, and I’m pretty sure the only reason I react so strongly to emojis being used like that is because AI is the only thing I interact with that uses those emojis, and thinking about AI makes me slightly angry.
