<p>i should probably have slept long ago, but...tf2 beta!</p>
<p>is passive voice 'bad,' and active voice is preferable? it should be, right?</p>
<p>yes. go to sleep.</p>
<p>“bad” in the SAT. yep.</p>
<p>the word impassive was on the sat today, thank god you asked this question and thanks for the definition</p>
<p>Using the passive voice risks verbosity (e.g., “The cake was eaten by me” instead of “I ate the cake”) or vagueness (e.g., “The work is considered quite good [by whom?]”).</p>
