My old man opinion is that there is no point discussing with people who are using emoji because they are inadequately able to express themselves using words. I have found they are also likely to take offense and act irrationally when words are the forced medium.

You sound hostile, try incorporating some emojis.
Nice.
You're just being silly(-silly).

Normal communication has probably 1000x the bandwidth of text communication. Any extra bandwidth you can add and not overdo, for written communication, is useful.

I use emojis, maybe one every 500 words or so, and they do offer added value.

By normal, do you mean verbal ?
