Clear writing communicates complex ideas effectively and drives endeavors more than we give it credit for. Most emails I receive are longer than they ought to and makes N recipients spend T additional time to finally get the wrong idea and diverge in execution. More rambling emails are sent to align people. The sender can prevent this upstream by writing in a "clear, concise, complete, correct" way.
This is valid for issues/bug reports/feature requests/user stories, etc.
