As an ESL, my opinions in exclamation points are “shrug”. But here’s something about tone that grinds my gears: Why is clear writing considered aggressive?

I often find it nearly impossible to understand coworkers because they couch everything in layers of fluff. Seemingly to avoid coming across as aggressive.

Especially when giving feedback. Please just tell me what’s wrong so I can fix it.
