What
do you thinK about the Word of the Year?
The Word of the Year of this 2015 is an emoji called “Face
with Tears of Joy”. It is the first time that this has happened, it is amazing!
It was chosen because this emoji best reflected the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015.
I must say that I
agree with it, because I think that it has been the most used “word” during the
whole year. Maybe, it means that the language is changing to something new. It
is possible that the old and boring texts will be changed for more modern ones
someday, with a lot of emojies that can express the feelings and sensations
that people are feeling while they are writing.
For many people,
maybe, this can be understood as a joke, because people write really badly on
Whatsapp, for example. It is also possible that people who have chosen this
emoji as the word of the year want to make us understand that we are all
destroying the language. For example, we can write something really, really bad
and anything happens, because we have put a nice emoji for solving the
problem.I think that nowadays we have big problems of writing because of that,
so in my opinion, it is nice that Oxford Dictionaries make us see that we have
to work on it for to try to upgrade our writing skills.
In conclusion, only
saying that I don’t like the idea of having and emoji as the Word of the Year,
because I think that it is an offence to the language.
