    What wrong with using a versatile icon? Yes, Ok, I’m with you, etc., all mean the same thing. So instead of a “thumbs up” Luann should say " ’K" all the time?

    This sounds like a dad joke coming out of Bernice’s mouth

    It was Tiffany, NOT Bernice, that Luann used to get into Fist Fights with in Junior High School.

    ancient romans didn’t use the thumbs up. when they wanted a gladiator killed, it was the sword-thrust motion that mattered rather than its direction, which could be up or down or sideways. the signal to spare him was a closed fist, representing a sheathed sword.

    Multiple thumbs-down for Bernice, meaning, “I’m a smart-a** know-it-all.” “I’m a crazy, neurotic mess.” “I’m a small person with the biggest head known to humankind.” “I’m the worst friend in the world.” “I’m not fit to be a psychologist.” “I’m the most insensitive person around.” “I’m so tight, not even a pin could fit inside me.” “I’m totally unfit to be around other people.”

    I love when insulting others, Bernice ends up insulting herself. This shows how much she’s actually projecting her insults and that, on a subconscious level, Miss perfection is a bit aware of all of her flaws. At least it seems that Luann understands the situation and secretly laughs about it.

    I am with Bern here, this is representative of modern communication – and not just among youth. I get a large amount of “just an emoji” texts from all ages. An easy way to acknowledge a message without having to really be engaged. And us older ones bemoan cursive falling by the wayside. :o/

    I use mostly proper grammar and a few emojis in my texts. I’ll use the thumbs up when I’m done talking and want to end the texting. It works very well. My friends use it that way too.

    I tend to agree with Bern on over use of emojis at the expense of just writing what you have to say. I use them but very infrequently mostly to convey disappointment or to congratulate someone. There is one person (at work) that I need to communicate with whose messages are constantly sprinkled with hearts and smiley faces, but in addition to writing what’s necessary. so it’s OK.

    I would use the adjective ‘dismissive’. When someone replies to my carefully worded message or reply to their message with (Y) – thumbs up, I feel dismissed, like they can’t be bothered to read or think of an appropriate reply. I know, it’s better than being ignored or forgotten.

    Bernice reminds me of my older sister who was snarky and judgy as a teen and young woman. After decades of therapy she realized the damage she had done and is now trying to make up for it. I’ve always adored her and wished she would try to understand rather than jump all over me at the first. It was worth the wait and decades of prayer.

    Brings to mind a recent news article about a farmer who sent a “thumbs-up” emoji to acknowledge the receipt of a proposal, only for the other party (and, eventually, the court) to interpret it as his acceptance of the proposal. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/07/business/farmer-contract-thumbs-up-emoji/index.html

    To sueb1863: I don’t think Luann really considers B as a close friend anymore. B has become a friend of Luann’s mother, so Luann can’t just dump her, but Luann is obviously trying to become friends with others, like Tara…
