It turns out it sounds really old to call them emoticons.

I preferred emoticons. There are too many emoji. Too many of them are meaningless. No matter what platform you're on, you have to SLAM typing to a halt to go into a separate menu to pick one out.

I also get unreasonably annoyed when an application replaces my ASCII emoticons with emojis.
