OPINION

In my opinion, I think this news tells a truth because many of my friends use it and it's very strange if you doesn't use it. So, there're more fast to write and they express with more accuracy what you want to say. In my case, I use many of this emoji every day. Besides, I've been freaking out with the ranking because, sincerely, there are my favourite emoji and what I used more often!
