> I wonder if they're ever going to decide that enough emoji is enough, or will continue adding more until every word in the dictionary is an emoji.

Emojis, like language, is social and will continue to change.

It’s unlike language because words can fluidly be invented or fall out of use. Emoji is designed by a committee. If it expands to include everything it will just be unusable. Why not just use pictures at that point anyway?

Oh yeah, languages are never controlled by committee

Why do you think it will be unusable? Chinese and Japanese have IME.
