Document Summary
This lecture covers the guidelines used to improve the clarity of writing. There are times when you wish to obscure meanings etc, but you should know how to make clear, as well.

Where possible, make the point with minimum fuss. The guidelines in the textbook are to make the verb work, to put the important information up front, and a few other guidelines.

In the passive voice, the actor is placed in the object position, or omitted entirely for example the novel was written by george or the novel was written .
