I think that's one big flaw in written communication ---like what we do here, sometimes someone says something in jest that doesn't get taken that way. Language and words are just one form of expression. I've seen people who don't speak the same language communicate quite well ---but they have to both be open to alternative forms of communicating.

Language and words are just one form of expression

And that is the problem. All languages depend upon a learning period of its components. The less knowledge one has of a language, the more limited the ability to communicate. You may have a perfect thought, but due to your limited understanding of your language, the less likely you are to communicate you thought. If you were telepathic, you could communicate your perfect thought and the person with whom you were communicating, would completely understand.
