Textual Ambiguity

This term refers to the misinterpretations, misread emotions, inaccurate texter to textee translations, and overall miscommunications that result from the limitations of conversations via texting.

"I was telling her how much fun I had last night, but she thought I was being sarcastic. She totally misread what I was texting. Must have been the textual ambiguity."

Script Example:

Her- "like omg I had so much fun with u last night :) Did u like the play?"
Him - "yeh it was great"
Her - "are you sure? I know u wanted to go to the game with your friends..."
Him - "no its ok, I had fun with u"
Her - "It doesn't seem like u had fun."
Him - "why do u say that?"
Her - "You just don't sound like u had fun."
Him -"what? how? I literally said the play was great and that I had fun with you"
Her - "yeah but I can tell u didn't mean it"
Him - "yes I did, what are u talkin about?"
Her - "See and now ur annoyed."
Him - "NO I'M NOT!"
Her - "Don't yell at me! Next time u can go to the stupid game and I'll go to the play alone."
Him - .... (dafuq?)

textual

To speak intimately sexual with your partner or cyber soulmate online, or in a text message. Either online with an instant messenger, or using a text message system on your cell phone or Blackberry, etc.

Email can be very exciting, but it is not as textual as a session on Yahoo with your cyber soulmate.
