2) I personally like Emoji very much; I think it puts more character into one's writing. It makes writing so much more interesting and fun to look at; it does brighten up the look of everything. I think it will be a while before Americans use Emoji to the extent that the Japanese use them. Americans are not use to being so apologetic and humble, so sweat drops and bowing down emoticons are not going to be as popular. I feel that Americans like to get to the point and not write in puzzles. But for casual e-mailing and messaging, I think Emoji is such a smart and creative writing tool.
