It’s pretty much all over the internet that the Oxford Dictionary have selected the emoji (a pictograph – picture image used in text messaging) “Face with Tears of Joy” as their word of the year for 2015.
There must be an irony in the choice that I’m missing, and real words pretty much are failing me in responding to the situation.
Perhaps the irony is that this is pretty much how anyone who loves language must be feeling right now.
