Auto-generated description: A humorous chart depicts different grammatical voices used in scientific writing, including active, passive, passive-aggressive, clickbait, haiku, and conspiracy voice.

When I was 14 years old, I was told by my English teacher that I shouldn’t write in the ‘passive voice’. That advice has stuck with me ever since, as once you’ve see it, you see it everywhere.

So I found this, by Tom Gauld, both funny and useful in terms of showing other people (including my kids) what I mean about the ways in which things can be written.

As someone pointed out in the comments, Gauld could have added ‘AI voice’. But then, he could have also added ‘LinkedIn voice’ (and so on, ad infinitum…)
