I Prefer To Take Advice From Someone Who Knows What They're Talking About - Pullum On Passives

I'D RECOMMEND LISTENING to all six as a bare minimum.  Then maybe we can have a brawl over it.   I'd say easily 9 out of 10 times when someone pulls the old "passive" on someone they don't even know what passive mood is. 




Update:   I'm surprised you didn't catch my mistake, I meant "voice" not "mood".   I guess I should have taken more than a minute to respond to the criticism.   Actually, that's a lie, I'm not surprised.
