While I will grant that, at least to some extent, "we" have lost the ability to communicate meaning soley through the use of written words, I must say that a purely written communication does indeed leave much to be left to the imagination of the reader. Without the tone and other nonverbal language, some things can be easily misinterpreted.
Or maybe I just haven't figured out how to express sarcasm correctly without the use of nonverbal "language."
