A field of study around the idea of removing all forms of "to be" from the English language fascinates me. This eliminates the passive voice and requires a subject acting on an object for everything. It ends up improving several forms communication and makes certain rhetorical "tricks" impossible.

At just a glance, that seems entirely messed up to remove present tense, no?
