They help to make it clear whether you’re being ironic or not
I have decided that I favour using emoticons — smiley faces, for instance — in serious adult communications. I realise that you may be a bit :-\ about this, or even downright 🙁 and until recently I would have agreed, but a couple of things have brought me round to the idea…
Cito la bio dell’autore dalla stessa fonte:
Daniel Finkelstein is a weekly columnist, leader writer and Associate Editor of The Times. Before joining the paper in 2001, he was adviser to both Prime Minister John Major and Conservative leader William Hague. Daniel was named Political Commentator of the Year at the Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards 2011 and 2012.
Al di là del senso dell’articolo, ormai abbastanza largamente condiviso, va rilevata la presenza del disegno del cuore nel titolo, per love/heart.
Sappiamo che l’uso è accolto dal dizionario ma vederlo resta una sorpresa felice.
Agli atti!
