I share this writer's frustration with other's communication styles that always lack context but this type of essay only gets people who already share your communication style to nod in agreement -- rather than change their minds.
As I stated before, others have a communication style that use a naked "hi" as a shorthand for "ping -- hey are you there to talk to me right now?" because they don't want to type a bunch of words into an indeterminate void : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25881800
Likewise, I prefer people write descriptive emails rather than walking up to me with adhoc chats about complex technical issues but others disagree and insist that I owe my attention and defer to their style of communication : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20583126
You can't change people with essays about their preferred communication styles.
