This is especially important when working at an international company with many non-native English speakers.
One of the software engineers (an English major) I worked with at a previous gig could not get his head around the idea of writing in plan English.
He would write English at such an elaborate level that when he announced his resignation to the company via email, most people did not understand from that email that he was resigning!
