And also remember written word, via internet or email, is the poorest form of modern communication. It allows no voice inflection, ever notice how you can tell the person on the other end of the telephone is smiling? It allows no facial expression, body posture, or gestures to help you translate the message.

Without all this physical stimuli, it allows your mind to wander, to input your perception of things such as tone of voice, read between the lines and derive and create percepted meanings.

Emoticons give some help in this regard, but we forget to use them and even with them a quickly typed message can never equal telephone or eye to eye conversation. Don't we think something like ten times faster than we can speak?
