Sylvia, have you logged in? Everybody, the attached file is a screenshot of what I mean. The existing text says "You", which is direct and immediate, and is NOT the overuse of "you" people have been talking about. The proposed change is "Everybody", which is indirect and distant. It does not catch

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Getting Started 5.1

Active voice, direct speech (do this), and use of "you" (but not over-using "you" or the possessive "your") is standard modern technical writing in English. All of the books are written that way, and we should not even consider changing that. However, some writers (Peter Schofield in particular) t

I am also uncomfortable with the change from active to passive voice. Passive voice is harder to read and to understand, expecially for those for whom English is not the first language. On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 11:00 AM, Andrew Wetmore wrote: > I said this to Oliver directly, forgetting to "reply
