Fix spelling mistake

jess-sch opened this issue · comments

Possible fix: 's/Emojis/Emoji' and 's/emojis/emoji' on all the things.

If you're gonna make an Emoji-only language, at least use the official plural of 'Emoji' (http://www.unicode.org/charts/ - the word 'Emoji' is clearly used in the plural form without an s)

Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster say that both emoji and emojis can be used as plural form. So I don’t see a reason to change anything.

Oxford and MW are both descriptivist dictionaries. In other words, if a ton of people keep making a spelling mistake, that spelling mistake eventually gets added to the dictionary. However, the fact that the 'everything goes' descriptivists accept an alternative spelling of Emoji ('Emojis') doesn't change the fact that your language is based on a character set called Emoji.

Whatever, I don't really care, I just think a language that is based on a set of characters defined in a standard should at least be able to spell the name of that character set.
