“Zero Ducks Given” is now a running joke between my friends and me. Why you may ask? Lest semester, after feverishly power walking home after a long and exhausting day of classes, I was fed up. What does one do when they’re on edge like that? For me, the answer is aggressively text my best friend/roommate to vent. As I typed and sent my messages at the speed of light, I realized that instead of a choice word that began with F,  my word choice had been auto corrected to ducking about four times. My friend then replied “zero ducks Anna?” with the duck emoji. From that day forward my friend and I have skipped autocorrect and words all together and just use the emoji to express our feelings – talk about multimodal communication.
