I'm In-Tensed

Funny language error in this Slate piece on "natural language analysis" of our president's unnatural language: "[T]hink about that corrugated green line under a sentence in Microsoft Word reminding you to avoid passive tense...." (My emphasis.)

So nearly true (you should avoid 'passive tense').
