And if you think them out, then that's fine. But a lot of people think texts are hyper-casual and don't give them appropriate consideration.

If you have the time to consider what you're going to say, like in written communication, then yes, you should be able to do it with just words. Take your time, figure out what you want to say.

Yes, but we have 50,000 years of evolutionary practice understand what a smile means in real life. And we recognize that we still don't all interpret those smiles the same way, as is evident in many legal codes not enforcing "hand

Cultural or psychological differences in interpreting facial expressions. It's clearly not despair to me. The mouth is upturned, which indicates smiling. But to someone who can't easily differentiate upturned from downturned, it m
