The little icons that go with each warning are HILARIOUS. I think my favorite is "excessive use of passive voice" XD

AO3 and fanfiction.net should formally adopt their use, don't you think?

Hahahahaha "excessive use of passive voice" is my sin. I can't get my thick skull to understand how to talk English without the excessive use of passive voice.

I used to have that problem. Now my poor ficcers I edit for have to deal with my self consciousness of it.

It's good for your ficcers to have a concern beta. My problem is that I don't have awareness of my use of passive voice. I run "Grammarly", my English grammar and plagiarism checker, and the program always "accuse" me of doing it. I just don't know how to turn a passive voice into an active one. I feel the more I use English the more careless I'm being with grammar. ...my last English class was at 1987! I need to go back to school. ;)
