It IS clearly a puff piece, and they would have gotten away with it, too, with 10 minutes worth of copy editing.Sator Arepohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006808744513156317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-87726400734424584892009-09-22T07:56:55.424-07:002009-09-22T07:56:55.424-07:00I think Danny's right about the passive voice....I think Danny's right about the passive voice. I believe there has to be both an auxiliary verb and the past participle (most of the time using 'was', as in Danny's example) to be in the passive voice. However, I am far from an expert on this. <br /><br />Also, I'm pretty certain that soiree can be used in english without an accent over the 'e' being both an english word of foreign ancestry (no accent) and a foreign word (with accent).<br /><br />In any case, excellent find, SA. I love the part about the wave -- I can only assume that the author had particle physics in mind when they wrote that sentence.Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-10771239830374163292009-09-22T05:35:19.402-07:002009-09-22T05:35:19.402-07:001.

That sentence isn't even in passive voice!<br /><br />(Passive voice would be, "A smooth opening night was made by a trio of solo performances...")<br /><br />The problem with the review is that it is almost entirely meaningless and either the writer knows nothing about classical music or they are assuming the readership knows less than nothing. Even if they'd followed every single one of the fake rules in <i>Strunk & White</i>, it would still be a terrible article.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294716220776027168noreply@blogger.com
