yeah, I did the search, blah, blah..got aggravated.

Is there any way to turn off the function that creates those arbitrary emoji's that seem to insert themselves into written text?

That is some seriously annoying %$#
 
I know what you mean. Posted a note the other day about a fellows bass. Said it made me drool. Posted the note and there's the smiley thing. Sort of makes a fellow feel like ribbons and bows are sprouting about his head.

Edit.. I see it just did the same thing.
 
yeah..I need to burn that witch and for the life of me, I can't find the button. I'm sure it's right under my nose.

If I wanted to communicate with hieroglyphics I would have bought a house in ancient Egypt instead of Florida

In my text messaging window it underlines and creates a gray box around words you can choose to replace with an emoji. If you click, or double click, or something, it'll replace the word trombone with some funky french horn.

Once I figured out the function I was super surprised at how many words the common sentence has that could be replaced by a little cartoon. At what point does communication become less clear with the implementation of pictures?

I remember being ubfortable with the adoption of ":^) and other such nonsense back in AOL 28.8kps days, so call me an old man shouting you off my lawn, or wave a series of pictograms at me with a patch of grass, a cane, and an arrow pointing right at me in protest.

Away emojis! Away with ye say! Huzzah! ;)
