These folks are academic linguistics professors and researchers so I imagine they are way too far into it.

But it is a good blog if a bit technical at times, particularly when they talk about etymology and word choice shifts.

MBC, can you post sample sentences that confuse you as to why they're in passive? Keep in mind, as well, that Word is not a perfect grammarian and it may get confused as well as to how you're really using a word compared to how it thinks you are.
