The meme is a screenshot of a Twitter post from a user named @SiobhanFTB, with the caption "Passive voice is not just for journalists". Below the caption is a list of 7 examples of passive voice being used in incorrect situations, including: * "The door was opened by John" (instead of "John opened the door") * "The cake was eaten by the children" (instead of "The children ate the cake") * "The problem was solved by the team" (instead of "The team solved the problem") * "The car was driven by my brother" (instead of "My brother drove the car") * "The book was read by my mother" (instead of "My mother read the book") * "The house was cleaned by the maid" (instead of "The maid cleaned the house") * "The food was cooked by my sister" (instead of "My sister cooked the food") The meme is poking fun at the idea that passive voice is only used by journalists, and is actually used in many everyday situations.
