Intent of any post being misinterpreted
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Hi folks, as somebody who has been around text based messages for more years than I care to admit to, there is one basic truism which still can cause issues.
The statement of facts or giving of advice can appear very abrupt and direct when it was not meant to be. Most of us when speaking to each other use inflection and such like to create the spirit of what is being said and how it is to be taken. Sadly many of us cannot see body language, so even that is no good in person. However apart from what I still consider as these new fangled emogees, many do not know what they mean nor in fact use them. Thus when you see an apparently abrupt response or interpret something as a castigation or a reprimand, please go away, have a drink, think about it and realise it was just the facts being expressed. Nothing wrong with anything you said. Even a simple comment like: If you go back a day you will see this answered is often seen as sarcasm, when its really not meant that way. If you cannot go back or do not know how to view the archive, merely state this and somebody will help, I'm sure. OK I'll go back to sleep now! Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

Brian, I don't think I even know what an emogee is so I look forward to an explanation. Probably when the explanation comes, I might be able to imagine how to use Emogees but, at the moment, I'm in the dark

I would like so much to try explaining you what is an emoji, but I definitelly don't have the proper words. An emoji is, let's say, theorically, the same as an emoticon, except by some differences. And, to understand these differences, you can check this link, which will explain it much better than I would ever do. Em 11/02/2019 07:02, Ian Westerland

An Emoji is a face or figure made up of dots that conveys the mood of the email.
For example, Look below my signature and NVDA should tell you, Smiling Smiley. Hpe this helps. Chris :-)

Actually this is an emoticon, which the article that I posted the
link to right after one starts reading it states to not confuse with
what's actually an emoji.

I still don't know how to explain what it
is after all, so well..

Emojis are nothing more than tiny images (drawn, not photos) that fit in line with text, taking up the equivalent of 1 to 2 (maybe 3) character places.
They originally had, as their intent, expressing emotions much as emoticons did and do. However, the range has expanded to include so many that this can no longer be said to be the case. Many are used as coded references to other things. The infamous eggplant emoji being the most "commonly known" one.

I believe they are ascii symbols that are mostly equivalent to the emotes we use, except a lot more descriptive. At least that's what I read when I googled.

Everything old is new again. We’re going to end up using hieroglyphs or Aztec Pictograms again soon enough and folks are going to call them an innovative breakthrough in modern communication or something…

Lol. What's that saying that old styles come back as new? Well we'll see. Love your analogy there. It does make sense as I see old new tech coming back and stubb better than ever. Take care

Well customised emoticons is what I sort of thought of, but I used that word to mean both in fact since I do not use them and from the descriptions I hear in nvda, would not be sure if I'd used the right one in the first place, so I tend to ad just Grin at eye end.

Makes you wonder if Hieroglyphs were the ancient Egyptian form of movies.

We learned about hieroglyphs last semester. Hieroglyphs were the Egyptian form of writing ❤
