marxism-cannibalism: kitteh-neon: motivatedslacker: darkjez: ireallyhatecornnuts: doingtheneedful: mightymur: The final, brilliant word on passive voice. “She was killed [by zombies.]” <—- passive “Zombies killed [by zombies] her.” <—- active Welp. Oh my god, best passive voice identification tool ever. This is on par with the moment that I learned “the alligator always eats the bigger number” when determining whether to use greater than or less than sign.  Life changing shit, seriously. Servicey. OH. I never had any idea how to do that. Best teacher ever.
