Alright let's settle this once and for all: Emojis in a sentence are placed before a period 🤔? Or should they be placed after?🤔 (self.casualconversation)

You phrase all this as a negative but I think it is in fact a very beautiful way to look at it. A true shift going back to our bare roots of human literature.😃

I am not pulling your leg here. I do think it is actually a really interesting thought you put here. I just don't see it in a negative sense.

In fact, what are words if not deep-rooted human expressions? What would that make emojis in the first place?

Which languages still use pictographs?

(Hint: If you're about to say "Chinese" or some variant thereof, you're wrong.)
