Evasive, yes; passive, no!<br /><br />A lot of style manuals object to passive voice, but it's the evasiveness that's the issue a lot of the time. The rest? Indirectness. If you can say somebody did something to somebody else, that's <i>usually</i> the best way to go.<br /><br />The ultimate answer, of course, is to craft your sentences so they say just what you mean them to. Evasiveness to create tension is fine. Passive voice to focus on the do-ee instead of the do-er, likewise. Evasiveness or passiveness used unthinkingly is as big a mistake as...choosing any word or usage unthinkingly.Kevin Wade Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167575214306098086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26129073.post-30102884761567016062013-05-11T05:27:23.637-04:002013-05-11T05:27:23.637-04:00Wonderful information, I had come to know about yo...Wonderful information, I had come to know about your blog from my friend nandu , hyderabad,i have read at least 7 posts of yours by now, and let me tell you, your website gives the best and the most interesting information.
