Voice that is passive
Passive voice is used to note a sentence structure best known for making Microsoft Word and similar applications be in a situation where massive clitty leakage is caused whenever it is inserted into a sentence. It is theorized that MS word is known to dislike it because it is presented as less assertive.
Any time this phenomenon is spotted in a sentence, you VILL CONSIDER REVISING, NOW
Misconceptions[edit | edit source]
- Misconception: "The passive voice is used
incorrectly."
Grammatical science has long attempted to debunk the widely held, dangerous, baseless myth where passive voice is used incorrectly in any given sentence. Passive voice is defined as being a spineless weasel word, though, and the fact that its common use is still found, is an area where revising is considered.
- Misconception: "The passive voice is uhhm seen as formal, actually!!!"
One of the most soy things that is said about passive text. Just post sentences where the verb is placed actively instead. Furthermore, even though its use is associated with science, in everyday conversation it is used in less than 5% of them.[it just is, ok?] Not to mention that a journal literally called Science itself makes use of this be discouraged.
- Misconception: "The passive voice was used fine in sentences before!"
This lie was invented by George Orwell in his 1946 essay Politics and the English Language.
- Misconception: "It being grammatically correct is called outdated, just like prepositions to end sentences in!"
ACTUALLY, Microsoft Word's grammar checker is known to find situations where this glaring gramatical error is spotted and used with.
Other things that are seen[edit | edit source]
- Best known for - an example of this itself, also where Wikipedia policy on spineless weasel words as well as NPOV is broken.
