Rejected petition It's time to ban emojis and get the kids using written language again

More details

Are you sick and tired of people who use annoying emojis in their text messages? Do you think that people should just learn to express their emotions in words, rather than using rubbish little smiley faces?
Then back our campaign to ban emojis.
A picture doesn't tell a thousand words, particularly when it's an annoying image of a yellow circle blowing a kiss.
We want the government to ban emojis and get us all writing again. The fightback starts here.
