- oh_my_goodness 4y agoI guess. If the central claim of the essay is that it really genuinely takes three pages to explain what the passive voice is. On the other hand, sections 2 through 7 of the article really just belabor the same point made in section 1. If I just say "wow, 7 sections!" and stop reading, then, sure, it looks like the concept really is very difficult to explain. But when I read all those sections, I don't feel convinced anymore.
