Found in storage a 1965 Elements of Style in which "Use the active voice." is number 10 not 14 as in my 2000 Fourth Edition.

Elementary Rules of Usage forms Part I. Part II, Elementary Principles of Composition, continues the numbering from Part I. Part I had four less rules in 1965. Life just keep getting more complicated.
