Passive
What do they mean when they say it "everything will be taken care of?" They are referring to tasks such as laundry. Why the passive voice?
Does an active voice make the organization sound uncomfortably materal- or gay? And what about "Please find enclosed?"
I advocate that the redundant language be illegalized because a McKinsey study shows that the collective waste of corporate time due to composing and reading redundant phrases is approximately $60 million each year. Forrester says that the phenomenon is growing at a rate of 12.4% a year.
This is all stressful stuff. Especially because those quotes were false, and you probably believed me.
