It’s a bit stupid but my daughter who is 11 yrs old told me that I was saying EMOTICONS incorrectly. I pronouce it EMOT ICONS, but she says it’s pronouced EMOTIONS, she also informs me that I can’t spell properly and that the C in EMOTICONS is silent? AAAAAHHHHHH what the??????

You’re right. She’s wrong. Both Ask Oxford and Wikipedia are on your side.

emotions related to feeling is written without c, check the dictionary to find which u word u mean and tell her, that is fine if i make spelling mistakes u can correct ur work now if needed on net, tell her i cannot spell but u cannot cook as well

it is pronounced “emoti-cons”…
and the C in their is not silent…
just tell it to her in a nice way.. maybe she was just pretending that she knows the right pronounciation…
just understand her ways, she is just 11 and you’re the mother…

It’s “emoti-cons”, i.e not icons. but it does derive from emotional icons. Tell her Mother knows best!!!!!

I agree with you Mom but kids have their own take on every thing so in her crowd, she may be right too.
