I think detecting or even being aware of register in writing is an also lot harder for some folks than the same thing is in speech, which can lead to problems similar and related to misreading tone. I'd classify that, and difficulty dealing with tone per se in writing, as at least in part also a reading comprehension problem, but ultimately it doesn't much matter the cause when your immediate task is to communicate with the person: your options are to write better for your audience of that person, or, yeah, switch medium to speech.

> I think detecting or even being aware of register in writing is an also lot harder for some folks than the same thing is in speech I think this is a large reason why forums and comment sections can get so out-of-hand. Add to that the growing online habit of using as few characters/words as possible to communicate; then there is emoji only communication--thinking if that's its own comprehension category, teenager/young adults would score much better (better than I would at least).
