A local talk show host, WBEN-AM's Tom Bauerle, had a good point: we are going back to the time of the ancient Egyptians, who used hieroglyphs to communicate. The modern day equivalent is emoji! In fact, Matt Gray and Tom Scott launched (and not too long afterward took down) a Web site dedicated to communicating with no text, only emoji. (OK, that was gratuitous use of linking using Blogspot to link to 3 different YouTube videos.)
English is a difficult enough language to interpret correctly when its rules are followed, let alone when the speaker or writer chooses not to follow those rules.
"Jeopardy!" replies and randomcaps really suck!
