Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

Two pages of passive voice–just about any business document ever written, in other words, not tomention reams of bad fiction–make me want to scream. It’s weak, it’s circuitous, and it’s frequentlytortuous, as well. How about this: My first kiss will be recalled by me as how my romance withShayna was begun. Oh, man–who farted, right? A simpler way to express this idea–sweeter andmore forceful, as well–might be this: My romance with Shayna began with our first kiss. I’llnever forget it. I’m not in love with this because it uses with twice in four words, but at least we’reout of that awful passive voice.
