I have found re-reading my own writing helps tremendously.

We often do not appreciate how vague we are and how many biases we embed in our writing until we read them again outside of our current mindset.

This is why portant emails should be composed, and then wait until later before re-reading.

You will often find yourself rewriting entire communications because your original message was unclear/emotional/combative/etc...

Not sure if intentional, but if so this was a fantastic way to emphasize your point!

I've been doing an exhaustive review of my diaries from the last 6 odd years. I am amazed by how many sentences start with one idea, lapse in the middle, and conclude almost as if another person had taken over. Evidently, some thought had transpired in that interval, but I failed to transcribe it to the page.

I wish I followed that advice awhile ago.

Same for code.

portant?

The point is that re-reading catches errors, like the spelling of "important".
