heart


I noticed a handful of years ago, it became the fad to say "I heart you" aloud, even though we had been writing


for ages.
Maybe people always said that and I just hadn't noticed.

Anyway... what is it called in linguistics when you put a picture in place of a word? I can't remember.

If

is read aloud "I heart you" --
I saw an organ donor billboard the other day that said

Get youron


jajaja!
I had forgotten about this until KMarsh reminded me.
