Does passive voice create sentences that are indirect unfocused and slow communication?
Passive voice can create sentences that are indirect and less clear because the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performs it. This can sometimes slow down communication or make it seem less focused. However, passive voice can also be useful in certain contexts, such as when the doer of the action is unknown or when the focus is on the receiver of the action.

Conversely, 'hour' has a silent H and would correctly be 'an hour'.
Even when you say it, it might sound correct like if you say an user you already hear and automatically know that it is wrong.
