@SocioStudent61 @SocioStudent42 We also used a lot of ^^ in High School. We also used a lot of xD. Did you use it in the U.S.? #LIN471

Seems like emojis are a kind of language change.Younger generations use them all the time and older ppl struggle to understand them.#LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@SocioStudent61 Probably the children know in which language they use for specific people/domains. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@sociostudent43 A friend of mine also uses a lot of emojis.When I text her I find myself using more than I would usually do. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

Do you use 'pupil' to refer to a student? Heard a Canadian saying that and was wondering if it is also used in the U.S. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@SocioStudent61 My bilingual roommate does that too when taking to family or other bilingual friends! #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@sociostudent43 @Sociostudent50 So interesting when people actually pronounce their punctuation to stress something. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@Goodebai I use it as rolling eyes. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@sociostudent67 Sometimes I also feel like it sounds kind of rude or unfriendly if I don't use them. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

I noticed that I use either ..., exclamation marks or emojis when ending a sentence in text messages. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@SocioStudent46 I am also so used to it that I forget to exclude them when texting ppl without smartphone. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

Sometimes it is difficult to understand the meaning of a text without hearing the person's voice. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

A friend told me that her mom also can't distinguish between the crying and the laughing with tears emoji. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

I also noticed the usage of different emojis in different cultures. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

I sometimes have discussions with my friends about what certain emojis mean. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@SocioStudent46 My mom does that too! It's like the text has to have an official ending. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@SocioStudent61 Interesting question. Maybe at first but maybe they realize it soon. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

Noticed that one of my professors put some casual speech in his slides.Probably he wanted to make it more entertaining for us. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@sociostudent43 @sociostudent49 @SocioStudent47 True. Similar in texting. It was also kind of limited. #LIN471

[SocioStudent51 @SStudent51]

@sociostudent43 A MI friend says 'freeway', so I was curious. #LIN471
