What’s not on the slide, but which I say during the talk, is that I’m making an analogy here between ‘Don’t use passive voice’ (English) and ‘use noun phrases for class names’ (object-oriented programming). Both are kinds of grammatical guidelines. What I also say in the talk is that this analogy is a stretch, but at least advice from writers about writing can inspire us to think about how we write code.
