Many people have argued that we should develop some extra characters to make it easier to tell from text what would normally be conveyed by the tone of voice or expression 🤔. But these have already developed on their own in the form of emojis😲, we should just make their use more culturally acceptable🤨.

This should be done immediately where it would most help the hard of hearing and neurodiverse people🙂. All movie subtitles should be legally required to have all lines end with an emoji signifying tone😐. All communication from the government or important institutions should also include them🤓.

In the long term, we should start teaching children that a proper grammatical sentence ends with an emoji of some kind before the punctuation🤔. More emojis would be developed and the set of emojis used in serious writing would be standardized💪. Easier inputting methods could be developed in the form of an emoji keyboard or perhaps something similar to the Chinese Pinyin typing system 🤓.

    I wrote up a 4 page document in my own brand of phonetic english entirely on company time back throughout last year, so I consider it time not wasted
