I've been having a problem with words

Lately I have been having a problem with words, and the English language which is all just a non graphic user interface to each other's brains, what if we just had pictures and sounds, would that make understanding any easier we spent massive amounts of time learning how to communicate with each other verbally and through written word, do you think it is unnatural for us to do so? would we be better off learning something other than language, what about written text? It's been a long time since I really thought I about semiotics but really the evolution of the human being has really been the evolution of our communications with our own brain.
