Unless you were being sarcastic, I am not missing the point.  Many
programmers I know, especially once that never learned COBOL, really have
issues with written communication.

Their reading skills are sometimes awful, too.  I cannot count the number
of times I would email something to a developer only to have them show up
at my desk where I would repeat (often word for word) what was in the email
so that they could understand it.

Unless your original post was in sarcasm, I don't agree with it.

As an aside, I will say there are many programmers who participate in the
BBS networks that don't seem to have as much of a problem with writing and
reading.  I have never worked alongside any of the programmers I have
conversed with on BBSes.  For whatever reason, many I meet in real life are
lacking in both.
