[Invoke] Google-fu / English grammar Gurus by Yavine2007-04-26 09:42:07
  A sentence is in passive voice by basher202007-04-26 10:34:24

Depending on the language, passive voice does tend to be stylistically heavy though. In French, it's a killer because of the unavoidable use of the auxiliary "être". Not a problem in English as far as I know; I'm very surprised that it is presented as a problem in style guides.
