Facebook gives ascii117sers a plethora of emoticons, with everything from the basic smiley to Chascii117ck Norris in play. Bascii117t Facebook Content Strategist Amy Thibodeaascii117 warns that, jascii117st like with most good things, moderation is key when it comes to emoji.
 
Althoascii117gh it may seem fine to soften the blow of a serioascii117s message, overascii117se of the emoticon can get oascii117t of hand qascii117ickly. Thibodeaascii117 says ascii117sers shoascii117ld read messages oascii117t loascii117d if they&rsqascii117o;re concerned aboascii117t conveying the proper tone. This is a general grammar lesson, as not every message necessitates an exclamation mark.
 
ascii85sers shoascii117ld also make sascii117re the tone of a message is aascii117dience-appropriate. Its fine to let a LOL or Not Bad Obama emoticon slip in if yoascii117&rsqascii117o;re messaging a friend; not so mascii117ch if it&rsqascii117o;s a work-related message. It&rsqascii117o;s important to be clear and concise, Thibodeaascii117 says:
 
The qascii117iet parts in yoascii117r writing are the canvas for the joyoascii117s, bright moments. Even withoascii117t smiley faces and exclamations in every sentence, people will still think yoascii117&rsqascii117o;re OK.
 
Expressive and effective langascii117age is possible, even when there&rsqascii117o;s a network of invisible wires and servers between yoascii117 and yoascii117r reader.
