Passive Voice Day 2013

It has been decided that the third annual Passive Voice Day will be observed on April 26, 2013. Though previous years were observed April 27, it is thought that more participants can be found if Passive Voice Day is observed on a week day.

Passive Voice Day is observed by people around the world. The absurdity of the English language being tortured is enjoyed by these people. For one day, the passive voice is used exclusively in tweets, blogs, and casual conversation.

The hashtag #passivevoiceday should be used on Twitter and other social media, so that your passive voice sentences can be enjoyed by others.

Is it not known how the passive voice is used? Is a refresher needed? The information provided by Grammar Girl should be read.
