Editorial comments, the joy of

[frualeydis]

it is very interesting to see the typical Swedish mistakes I make, when getting editorial comments on articles. You can really see the Swedish construction of sentences, phrases and use of prepositions in some places :) Swedish academic writing is done very much in the passive form, which leads to phrases and constructions that just don't work in English.

This is interesting to hear. I haven't read much Swedish academic writing yet since Swedish geologists mostly publish in English journals, so I haven't noticed the passive thing. However, my English science writing tends to contain more passive voice than the programers of the grammar checker in Word are happy with.
