Messunderstanding

Messunderstanding is a definition for a misunderstanding but with text messages. As for example a text message intended to be funny or ironic but instead, in the hands of the reciever reads as an insult or is taken too seriously. The misunderstanding is directly linked to the forum of the communication. In ordinary spoken conversation, a weird comment followed by a smile helps the other participant to understand the irony, whereas in text messages it can be misunderstood or - messunderstood.
People avoid messunderstandings by using or not using smileys and/or other stuff.

"James thought he actually could ride in the car with me even though I said no. Why did I put a smiley there? Clearly this was a messunderstanding. I was messunderstood!"

Alan- I don't know where I stand with you boss.
Dave- The same place you were standing a minute ago Alan, you're standing directly in front of me, so until you choose a new set of coordinates that is where you stand with me. What is the misunderstanding here?

Even if what you're saying is correct, I'm still entitled to my missunderstanding.
