The CEO of one firm I worked at wrote emails totally in bullet point format.

Made it much easier to read and you could just reply with:

> bullet point

response

which made life much easier

I love terse text communications most of the time (Slack and email at least). So much clearer. And easier to respond to.

I think we've all worked with someone who (I imagine subconsciously) feels the need to make things longer without actually adding more information in there, and it just makes everyone's day a little harder.

I developed this habit when I worked in software support. It made me substantially more effective. Sometimes people are reading for the joy of the prose. Sometimes they’re reading because they want to get to the answer. In the latter case, writing that is easily visually parsable is quite valuable.
