It may not shine through in my hurried forum posts 🙂 but I do actually set a lot of store on this point. Time after time I am asked to write up reports to justify this, that and the other, because I tend to make to the effort to write clearly and unambiguously, with good grammar and without fluff. You might ask, is that good? To be honest I prefer coding - but - I take some quiet satisfaction from having successfully made cases others have failed to win, which has lead to increased opportunity on my part. It may not be the MOST important part of the job but I think poor written communication holds people back perhaps slightly more than they realise. I do genuinely think it has lead to being taken as a serious person in many instances.
