Some of us communicate much more comfortably and clearly in writing than in speaking. I have trouble retaining speech, but if something is in writing I can refer to it.
Email and texting can take more time than spoken conversation, and have their own problems as far as context--BUT if writing is more comfortable for one party, please respect that.
ETA: The discussion about millenials amuses me. I'll be 69 this month. Oh, and I spell things out and use apostrophes and even (gasp) semicolons and parentheses.
Although I will grant that there are folks who just don't want to read lengthy replies.
