613 - Dictionary.com Starts Defining Emoji (an interview with Jane Solomon)
Dictionary.com has added emoji definitions to its site, and I have an interview with the lexicographer behind the decision, Jane Solomon. Emoji are a lot more linguistically complex than you may imagine. Plus, I remind you of the difference between "aw" and "awe" and the origin that will help you use "awe" especially well.FOLLOW GRAMMAR GIRLTwitter: http://twitter.com/grammargirlFacebook: http://facebook.com/grammargirlPinterest: http://pinterest.com/realgrammargirlInstagram: http://instagram.com/thegrammargirlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grammar-girlGRAMMAR POP iOS GAMEOptimized for iPad: http://bit.ly/GrammarPopiPadFor iPad and iPhone: http://bit.ly/GrammarPopGRAMMAR GIRL BOOKShttp://www.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-girl-book-page
