 				<warning><title>Avoid Passive Voice Unless Necessary</title><para>Passive voice is completely correct grammatically, but it is a barrier to reader comprehension. The passive voice flips conventional sentence structure around. It moves the verb and direct object forward to the first half of a sentence, and places the main subject in the second half of a sentence. Often a simple restructuring of the sentence makes it active. Long passive sentences frequently take multiple reads before a reader grasps the full meaning.</para></warning>
