Emoticons and symbols aren't ruining language – they're revolutionizing it

:) In many casual discussions of language and the internet, it’s not uncommon to hear about how such “textspeak ruins language” – how technology has made everybody lazy with their speech and writing. Major media outlets such as the LA Times, the BBC and The Daily Mail have all bemoaned the ways in which people communicate through technology. Of course, language does change when it’s used to text or write messages on the internet. And contrary to the idea that these innovations are corrupting language, they actually demonstrate a creative repurposing of symbols and marks to a new age of technology. Change doesn’t mean decay It turns out that people have been complaining about language being “ruined” for as long as they’ve been writing and speaking. In a TED Talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people complaining about language change through the ages.

Pink Slip Emoji? Houston Rockets Fire Social Media Manager After Controversial Tweet

The Houston Rockets, whose Twitter account posted a tweet that got everyone’s attention during Game 5 of a Western Conference first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks, fired the person who ran the account. On the day after the tweet in question — which was subsequently deleted — the Rockets dismissed their digital communications manager Chad Shanks, whose attempt at damage control was as good as one could have expected, given the situation.

Those attempts obviously weren’t good enough for the Rockets, whose decision was documented in this brief story by the Houston Chronicle. Here’s a brief recap of the story as it unfolded on Tuesday night, when it was beginning to become apparent that the Rockets were going to win Game 5 and eliminate the Mavericks from the playoffs, four games to one: 92 Teen Text Terms Decoded for Confused Parents. Not so long ago, most teenagers’ text messages read to other people like a jumble of seemingly disconnected letters, numbers, and odd punctuation.

92 Teen Text Terms Decoded for Confused Parents

Using a combination of shortened words, creative spellings, and a liberal sprinkling of unusual punctuation, teen text message mavens created their own form of language — so-called text speak (a term itself boiled down to “txtspk”). These days, teens are texting more than ever, but the advent of QWERTY smartphone keyboards, predictive text, autocorrect, and the removal of message character limits should allow young social butterflies the opportunity to type full, real words. However, the confusing shorthand continues to live on anyway. With the help of Twitter, the microblogging site that still limits each post to a mere 140 characters, abbreviated slang appears to be here to stay.

World Emoji Day / July 17. Emoji. Ideograms or smileys used in electronic messages and webpages An emoji, created by the Noto project Emoji (Japanese: , ; Japanese: [emodʑi]; singular emoji, plural emoji or emojis[1]) are ideograms and smileys used in electronic messages and web pages.

Emoji

Emoji exist in various genres, including facial expressions, common objects, places and types of weather, and animals. They are much like emoticons, but emoji are actual pictures instead of typographics.[2] Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji comes from Japanese e (絵, "picture") + moji (文字, "character"); the resemblance to the English words emotion and emoticon is purely coincidental.[3] The ISO 15924 script code for emoji is Zsye.

History The origin of Emoji pictograms The emoji was predated by the emoticon,[13] a basic text-based version of the now established Unicode emoji language and likely took inspiration from pictograms. Numerous claims have been made to who invented the first emoji. □ Get Emoji — List of all Emojis to ✂ Copy and □ Paste □ 2015: The Year of Emoji Diversity.

2015: The Year of Emoji Diversity

Guidelines have previously suggested that emoji people be “as neutral as possible regarding race, ethnicity, and gender”. Basically, if the character name calls for a specific gender (Princess) or accessory (Man With Turban), then it should be included. But if the description is less specific (Smiling Face With Heart-Shaped Eyes) then a gender-neutral “generic (inhuman) appearance, such as a yellow/orange color or a silhouette” should be used. Mockup of emoji skin tones. Colors are based on the Fitzpatrick Scale. The Unicode 8.0 update, slated for mid-2015 release, proposes to introduce a skin tone modifier that can be added to each emoji, resulting in the ability to send any emotion, with any skin tone.

Plans for this functionality even go so far as to allow the couple emoji characters to feature any combination of skin tones for the man or woman.

In 1995, sales of pagers were booming among Japan’s teenagers, and NTT Docomo’s decision to add the heart symbol to its Pocket Bell devices let high school kids across the country inject a new level of sentiment (and cuteness) into the millions of messages they were keying into telephones every day.

How emoji conquered the world

Docomo was thriving, with a bona fide must-have gadget on its hands and market share in the neighborhood of 40 percent. But when new versions of the Pocket Bell abandoned the heart symbol in favor of more business-friendly features like kanji and Latin alphabet support, the teenagers that made up Docomo’s core customer base had no problem leaving for upstart competitor Tokyo Telemessage. By the time Docomo realized it had misjudged the demand for business-focused pagers, it was badly in need of a new killer app. David Crystal. #EmojiSciece with Bill Nye.
