I use emoji in my work emails.
It's the only way to show that you are a true professional. 🥇
okay but in your work emails do you say "for fuck sake," or "for fucks' sake?" It's an important distinction so that you sound professional.
I say, "for fuck's sake" so they know they're dealing with my last one if they're paying attention.
What's the MLA standard these days?
Not all ways of viewing email supports emoji J
Gotta use emoticons instead :)
¯\(ツ)/¯
I as well tend to use them in a bit more professional situations as well.
I want to show off as a relaxed person who doesn't take even work that seriously!
on my résumé I substitute the bullet points with emojis to ensure I stand out from other applicants, and so the hiring managers know what a pleasant fun person I am.
