Answer:
- Emojis: Emojis are a useful way to convey human emotions due to their human characteristics; they mimic the expressions of the human face, they serve as simple shorthand for conveying an emotional state without directly stating it :)
- Punctuation: Not only for clarity, but different uses of punctuation can be convey different things - e.g. exclamation marks (!) can express anger, emphasis, sadness or delight depending on the context, and full stops (.) or periods in the US are interpreted as bold, assertive or aggressive. On the same note, texters find sentences with no period or with ellipses more passive or open ended and formal
- Length: Think about it like this: "I read about your relative's passing on Insta-gram and am sorry for your loss" likely has more emotional impact than "read abt ur family's passing on ins-ta, sry 4 ur loss."
