- zeckalpha 6y ago“this is a relief to read” -> “reading this relieved me” Perhaps passive voice isn’t as annoying to you as you claim. There is a difference between writing passively and using passive voice.
- motohagiography 6y agoHah, indeed. I'd say the passive voice is a common a tool for patronizing people, and too much tolerance for it is bad for an organization.
- ativzzz 6y ago> and too much tolerance for it is bad for an organization Passive again! "An organization tolerating it too much is bad" is active :)
- motohagiography 6y agoThe intended more-active would be "A leader who tolerates too much of it harms their organization," so it doesn't always transpose.
