I'm a manager and you'd be surprised at how many engineers (and people in general) can take issue with wording in communications. And all it takes is one person. More times than not that person is an overachiever - one who wants everyone else to be perfect, or one who wants to always be perfect. So much time is wasted sorting out miscommunication.

Personally I have a thick skin. Even harsh, direct verbal criticism doesn't faze me. I'll laugh in your face and tell you to get the fuck out of mine.
