Oh, print communication. How invaluable you've become, and how misleading you can invariably be from time-to-time. On the one hand: you allow me to write things I'd never normally say in as much time as I want whenever I want. On the other: gone are the inflections, intonations, facial expressions, and visual ticks that allow for a complete communicative meeting.

So how has society clarified the more incomprehensible aspects of your choreographic language? Well, like everything and anything that's apparently hip these days, they went vintage.
