So I'm working on this story right. Using Microsoft Word. And I get to this scene where this guy hallucinates that he's being chopped up by this ax. So I decided to use the word "dismembered" and all of a sudden there is a little green squiggly line underneath the word- not the sentence but the word. I know it's not about spelling because if I misspelled it the line would have been red. So what? What could be wrong with the single word, "dismembered"?

the answer:

"passive voice (consider revising)"

I never would have imagined that dismember- in any sense of the word- could ever be thought of as anything passive. seriously.
