I can't believe you're complaining about people not being able to read or write super-effectively, when you admit you can't even read the expression on somebody's face. Have some sympathy.

People do write what they mean, and then people misunderstad it. Is this because people are stupid? No. No, it is not. It is because people are people, and they often need more than just words on a screen to understand what other people are thinking. Hence: emoji, smileys, and so on.

Railing against this is the very definition of pissing into the wind. Good luck!
