Your point is unclear. If you think [[Politics and the English Language]] needs a better intro, take it to that talk page.
If it were a standard essay, rather than an explanation of the difference between active and passive voice, then it would hav a point that was not trying to be cute in leading to a tagline. I am disallowed from talk pages and e-mail. The admin who started the process against me egzajerated his claims against me, did not finish the process or contribute to my claims against him, and he did indicate frustration with my communications, so I desisted communication with him.
All I might do is link point four to the wikipedia guideline on active voice. The definition of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_passive_voice"> passive voice</a> needs work. I see no way to make the declaration of independence into active voice, and that was not done in the article, either, so I do not think it is a good example. If it can be activated, then it should be done to show the antonym, active voice. If not, then someone should find a better example. _______ Spammerz suk Uranus tiL they're fuL uv politiks.
