Then the school’s head teacher sent a letter to parents, in Comic Sans – the favoured font of British educational officialdom – written in High Bureaucrat and passive voice that threatened to put a permanent “Your kid is a racist” note on kids’ educational files if parents didn’t let them go on the trip.
Wait… where is all the passive voice in that letter? I counted one verb using in the passive (“note being attached”). And why do people still think it is somehow wrong to use passive voice?
