My autistic colleague gets to me read her emails before she sends them in case they need "humanising" ๐Ÿ˜‚ This was after a guy said her tone was aggressive and unpleasant (it wasn't, it just wasn't fluffed out and he was a big baby).

Ugh, I so get this. I have three writing styles: too concise, too verbose, and romance novel. I really need a fourth between concise and verbose, but I'm garbage at it for topics more complex than this comment.
