Can we pleeeeeeease stop putting emoji in the middle or end of sentences like this was a 6-year-old's training reader?

Any time I see a sentence end in that strong-arm emoji my douchebag-o-meter goes way way up.

Of all the things I’ve seen with emoji at the beginning or end of sentences, none of them are training readers for children and most of them are material by and for adults.

		A lot of early-reading children's books embed pictures in the sentences. It helps kids learn the meaning of words or something.

Probably not. I think it's the beginning of a major language evolution.

I dont mind them when they are not cringy. Arm flex is cringy.

		I will replace it with almost anything you want. Pick your option

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the cat is out of the bag on this one. I await the return of ascii art though.

I second this. I feel very strongly that we have to do our best to make technical things more accessible to more people, but this trend of adding emojis to these readmes is just infantilizing. A lot of the content is interesting enough on its own, no need to candy-coat it.
