dethkon posted:How is "😂" pronounced, according to this gay dictionary? This, a million times this. Human language is speech, the written form is only a partial and somewhat inaccurate representation of it. That's why stuff like punctuation and braille aren't thought of words/languages, but rather as written symbols. This is just pandering to idiots, and it's a shame that the most comprehensive and scientifically sound etymological dictionary tries to remain relevant using these methods, especially since it doesn't need it. I'm hoping it was just an idiotic move by someone in their social media department, rather than an actual linguist, because god help us if that's not the case.

Kumbamontu posted:i am glad we have come full circle and can embrace the wonder and power of egyptian hieroglyphic technology in the year 2015 Unless I'm remembering it wrong, Egyptian hieroglyphs had meanings that rarely if ever related to the picture in it. The glyphs stood for sounds you put together, not for the thing pictured. It was an actual language, not just pictionary. So, y'know, yeah, this is worse.

I just realized, this definition suggests the dictionary is unfamiliar with the definition of dictionary. It's such a perfect gently caress-up, like a fire station burning down...

ArbitraryC posted:Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I still mostly use text emoticons when I feel like using them, I always feel like the picture ones look so awkward. It's also loving impossible every time I try to be hip and add an emoji to something. I just want to be like, : / or D : but I click on that emoji button and have to parse 83 faces, 20 of which are weird cat things and 10 are some kind of inscrutable relationship thing. I've even tried typing a bunch in and getting Siri to read it to me because it's impossible to determine meaning from these things. You know exactly what : P means, wtf are these: 👵🙆🤑

BoldFrankensteinMir posted:So next year are they changing the title to Oxford Pictionary?  Can't wait for some nut in education to declare emojis are a legitimate language and classes must be taught in it. Remember ebonics? What's the over/under on this happening. 3 years?
