Language is not made by dictionary. Language is developed in conversation naturally. Many new words are used and old ones vanish. A dictionary is nothing but a compilation of words actually used by people.  we are definitely going the right way. You cannot direct people to use or not use any word. They will speak as they like. 

It's the usual practice of all Dictionaries and add new words basing on the popularity of the word to their respective dictionaries. Its not a new  thing. But the new thing is for the first time, Oxford picked "Emoji", an emoticon, a face with tears of joy.Emoji is not a word.

Yes, probably so. But I'm sure language is made with words! is not even a word!! Isn't there a charm in articulate speaking and writing ? I too use it on whatsapp or fb but it is more of an expression. Well I thought its inclusion in the dictionary and to make it word of the year is weird !

Emoji sign is word of the year of oxford dictionary. It is interesting, perhaps we slowly moving towards the age of Indus valley civilization. Language always improves, a live language tries to take good snapshot from corresponding influencing agents and this goes on to show how Internet and social networking sites have deeper impact on day to day language we use. 

 According to Oxford dictionary ,Emoji is an emoticon, a pictograph that reflects the year 2015.

At this rate you should not feel surprised if you find LOL (Laughing Out Loud) or is that (Lots of Love?) soon in the dictionary too. 

LOL, laughing out loud has been already included in the Oxford Dictionary.

Agree with you. There are people who use u for you and y for why and ur for your. Should we expect them in the dictionary too

I mean can they find something similar for lots of love?

I am not used to emoticons. Actually, I don't enjoy it very much so I always prefer to write my heart out.
