Grammar Attacked

I found this today in the New York Times:

We don�t use future tense, we don�t use passive voice, we don�t have long chapters.

(We’re not too keen on definite article either.) The speaker is Diane Steele, publisher of the “…for Dummies” guide to stuff. I knew the philistines had it in for the passive voice, but what did the future tense ever do to to rile the plebian hordes?
