How do you communicate via text and email?

I get so frustrated using text and email and i get so frustrated with this tit for tat back and forth… wasting time and getting no where.

for example…
ME: is it raining?
YOU: you mean inside or outside?
ME: outside!.. what da?
YOU: I dont know…
ME: look outside the window…
YOU:you look outside the window…
ME: i cant… i live on the other side of the planet
YOU: i guess i cant help you then …
ME: What da?
YOU: anything else i can do for you today?
ME: No… i will try back tomarrow…
