At least 55% of communication is non-verbal, with vocal (but not verbal) occupying a large percentage as well. Spoken language is a very small part of communication.
If an emoji can convey a facial expression/emotion then that would be a very valid form of communication.

If we did travel into realms of philosophy (which your email definitely did :)), then it is worth to note that a language is primarily something that one speaks, not writes. Writing is secondary to spoken language. You cannot speak emojis, so it's not a language. At least IMHO. But this is far off topic for this list, I think :) -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
