Everyone communicates differently. The only way to communicate effectively is to know your audience. In some contexts, uber-precision is the best method. In others, a spoken meeting would be better.

We all have preferences to what kind of communication best suits how we pay attention.

What we don't have to fight about is that it is wrong to take somebody else's words, modify them, and present them as unmodified. That is gross, and whoever does it is a gross person.

I'm sorry your manager is a cunt. I'd have given him a fucking earful if he'd done that to me. I don't tolerate that bullshit because as soon as people think that they can walk all over you, they will.

Even if you had written something impossible to parse, there is no reason why your manager should have ever impersonated you. He should have come to you, asked questions, given feedback, and had you "fix" your statement. It sounds like he is a really bad manager. Maybe he'd be better bagging groceries?
