the person that did edit my prelim right at the last minute wrote "don't use passive" so many times that he eventually shortened it to "passive" over and over and over again. i like to imagine him rocking in a corner with his eyes flickering around chanting "passivetensepassivetense" over and over.

Actually, it's the passive voice, not the passive tense.
You underestimate my ability to take things seriously!

i didn't say it was my *only* fantasy.

If I remembered what you were referring to, I most likely would have. ;)
