➤ Is this a effective response?
➤ Today, using emoticons in text messages is helpful in
understanding a sender’s tone.
- When my mother ends her message with a smiley face,
I know that she is not upset. But when she sends a
message like “Go home” or “Uwi ka na” without a
smiley face, I get worried that she might be angry.
- When my classmate acknowledges my answer with an
OK and a happy face, I know that my message was
accepted accepted warmly. But if it id just OK, I wonder
if she understood what I said.
- Ending a response with an exclamation mark without a
funny face emoticon might be misinterpreted as an
angry tone; the funny face emoticon makes the
message sound light and funny. For example, texting
NO! Without a funny face emoticon may sound like the
sender is angry.
