I love emojis. I know, they may be a little bit Marmite. You love ’em or you hate ’em. And I used to hate them. Mainly because I didn’t know how people were getting this weird collection of images that went far beyond a smiley in their messages. Then I found the emoji keyboard and my life changed forever. Ok, so I’m exaggerating slightly but you get the idea. Then I introduced the emoji keyboard to my mum and now we sometimes just communicate through emoji if we text. My sister is in America at the moment, and when she was sat waiting in the airport, I was keeping her entertained with a little game of ‘Guess The Movie From The Emojis’. Patent pending. If you have a friend and too much time on your hands then it’s a surprisingly easy game to play.

Recently, I read a couple of articles that argued (both for and against) the idea of emoji being a language in its own right. I found this really interesting and wanted to throw the discussion out there to you. What do you think? Is emoji a language? Take a look at the video and let me know your thoughts on emojis in the comments either here or on YouTube!
