Anyone else find that praying hands emoji very condescending when used like that? I would destroy the backend DB if they tried to send me that!
I worked with someone who used them as "thank you".
it was....a challenge.
What's wrong with that? It's a common gesture for thanks in many places irl... that's the first thing i think when I see that emoji, and I'm from a western culture...
I think pray, because that's what you have to type to use it.
You can also type "thanks" or "please". Both of those show the hands together emoji.
they do now because people are using it incorrectly.
not once in my life have I groveled a "thank you" and I don't intend to start via text.

"Alright, I need all of the leads on this call to confirm: go, or no go."
"Go."
"Go."
"Let 'er rip!"
"Hold up--"
I felt that in my gut.
