"I will not be accepting the offer." It is abundantly clear who the speaker is (Joey).

Sorry, my last comment was unnecessary. I need another cup of coffee because I am old and cranky.

[quote][quote]Since we are apparently giving each other English lessons...

Joey's proposed response was not grammatically incorrect, nor was it a use of the passive voice. Passive voice (seen in a lot of bad legal writing) is more like "your offer will not be accepted." Joey simply wrote his rejection in the future tense. Sure, it might be more precise to reject it in the present tense (I am sorry, but I reject your offer) but either one is correct.

So perhaps save the English lessons for when you really know what you're talking about.

The sentence doesn't indicate who the speaker is. Passive voice shifts the emphasis from the subject to the object of a sentence. But anywho, I'll save the English lessons and I hope you'll save that attitude for law school and beyond. I'm sure a lot of your clients would truly appreciate your enthusiasm. Cheers! [/quote]

Are you the same guy who was calling people obnoxious left and right above? Not that Joey wasn't overly arrogant in his post, but talk about living in a glass house, huh?

By the way, even if the was using passive voice and the speaker was unidentifiable in his suggestion, that wouldn't make it grammatically incorrect, and calling it so would be a whole lotta nothing and just make everyone think that I'm a bit of a prick - as I'm pretty sure is how you're coming across.

We all put our arguments to rest. I don't think it helps your cause to perpetuate negativity and hostility towards other users.
