A while back another board I use to frequent changed their set of emojis. My complaints went unheard, so I decided to use emoticons instead. Wait, I think it’s actually the very emoji set as on this board, haha!
Anyway, I wasn’t aware of that distinction either. So thanks for that @ralphm! :~)
Heh, yes, that happened here, too, when we switched platforms. Quite a few members still pine for the old vBulleting emojis. Indeed, some people still use them here.
Thank you.Glad to learn this. Personally, I prefer emojis. They are more like a face and deliver expressions no less than emoticons. Maybe, because I’m childlike. Children always love picture stuff.
Well…you learn something new every day! I honestly thought they were the same thing, and did wonder why we started calling them emojis instead of emoticons, I assumed it was just an evolution of the word or something…good to have it cleared up! So on that note, I would vote for emojis over emoticons
Ponderism for today:
Can a SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) be considered an emoticon? Reason for asking is because it is made up of keyboard characters and can render either images or text?
