It does it to me too, and the flukked up thing is that when writing a certain type of text a passive voice is something you should use.

in an essay about ethnic minorities you draw a big black box. I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this statement, but you might want to reconsider, you could offend some people

Actually (I'm sorry! I can't help it! It's the teacher in me!)

The passive voice is a tense that should only be used in spoken language. Just like the passé simple in French should only be used in written language...

Any upper intermediate grammar book will tell you that.

Well yeah... that's what they call the level of handbooks for students in the last two years of high school. Or they do so in Belgium anyway. It's probably different here, but you catch my drift.

And your black pudding is shite anyway! It tastes rubbery, so it does!

Re: it can hear me ?

I can't help it mate... my boss is from Balornock and I spend most of my time walking around in places like Rutherglen, Bridgeton, Dalmarnock (lovely gypsies over there by the way), King's Park, Gallowgate, Trongate etc...

I stay in Bearsden though :shifty:

Funny story, yesterday I took out a guy from Milngavie to train him. Made the mistake to take him to Trongate/Gallowgate...
Poor guy didn't have a clue what people were saying to him :lol:

Maybe in your country, but not here
:blink:

The Passive voice was to be used whenever I did an essay, for like three terms.

Couldn't use the personal pronoun either, rather than "I" I was to use "one".

Most perplexing.

Thanks for playing tho'.

Voice and Formality
Basically it's to do with what in the sentence you want to focus on.

:P MY grammar > Your grammar nerner nerner ner ner :P
