“Can we limit emoji in names to 2 or 3 at most?

“I'm >this close< to sending people a recording of what my screen reader says every time it sees them

“If your name takes longer to say than your tweet, there's a problem”

@hellpie @wowaname I use emoji, but I try to be aware of the differences among their many representations (e.g. the “gun" emoji is a toy or an actual gun according to different vendors; the “loudly crying face” looks ironic on iOS; etc.) and it's far from easy. Having TTS software read the official descriptions adds another layer to the clusterfuck we ended up with.
