It's just as important as correctly using there/their/they're

>>8191882
But there is no passive voice in this sentence...right? And the gender-neutral pronoun I'd supposed to be 'no one'?

I've seen those English dramas too.

Always makes me think of a cute blonde I made out with in old Boltzmanns office (I Viennese). We got drunk, she took me home and as soon we entered her bad, I had to excuse myself and then went to the toilet, vomited and fell asleep

>>8194560
Well, ain't that fine and dandy?
>>
>>8191882
There is literally nothing wrong with using "they" as a gender neutral pronoun.
>>
>>8194595
That's what they all say and now look at them.

Also how stupid is OP for not knowing what the passive voice is? It is thought OP I'd very stupid.

where can i find an academic bar?
>>
>>8194648
Any bar can be an academic bar if you know what to look for.
>>
>>8194595

I prefer 'it'.
