What it’s all mean?

I have questions.

1) What is a run-on sentence?

For starters, it’s NOT the same as a wickedly long, even Joycean, sentence. A run-on sentence is when two or more otherwise complete sentences are smooshed together either without any punctuation OR with just a flimsy, inadequate comma. e.g.

I love to play the board game Really Loud Librarians  I would do it every day if I could. WRONG
I love to play the board game Really Loud Librarians, I would do it every day if I could. WRONG 
I love to play the board game Really Loud Librarians; I would do it every day if I could. CORRECT

An aside, I need to purchase this game!

2) What is a passive versus active voice?

In a sentence written in the active voice, the subject of sentence performs the action. In a sentence written in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. (source)

Active voice: The cat churned the butter.


Passive voice: The butter was churned by the cat.

Why is active voice preferred?

Using active voice for the majority of your sentences makes your meaning clear for readers, and keeps the sentences from becoming too complicated or wordy. Even in scientific writing, too much use of passive voice can cloud the meaning of your sentences. (source)

Questions: is the cat being fairly compensated for his/her efforts? Are they doing it of their own volition? WHY isn't the cat's servant doing this for them?

3) What is a intersectionality? The Oxford dictionary says:

Sociology. The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage; a theoretical approach based on such a premise.
Finally, new paths for literary analysis are suggested within the frame of intersectionality.
~ María Amor Barros-del Río
2016, 'Power, Gender and the Nation: Negotiations of Belonging in Evelyn Conlon's Short Story “Park-Going Days”

Frankly, I needed a visual to understand what this means. I *think* I get it now but can’t this word be defined so that those of us without a PhD can easily understand?

Fer instance: intersectionality is the area where different prejudices overlap. e.g., a woman living in poverty who is in a wheelchair and Black will experience discrimination on four levels. 

1. her gender
2. she’s poor
3. suffers from a physical impairment
4. isn't white (this, in and of itself, is apparently a crime in America)..

4) Latibulate
     verb
To hide in a corner in an attempt to escape reality

Donna is having yet another day where she will excessively latibulate.

5) What do people mean when they start off a sentence with “If I’m being honest…” Are they intentionally implying that, normally, they’re dishonest? Ya know, usually I lie my ass off about this or that but this time, I’m giving you the straight dope.

6) What does it mean to be woke?
According to Merriam-Webster:
Woke is now defined…as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. 

Dictionary.com says
Woke
     adjective
having or marked by an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities

Synonyms for woke?
Enlightened, conscious, informed

The vast majority of Republi/Fascists either don't know what the word means or are purposely misusing it to keep the racist fires burning in their dimwitted, worst-examples-of-humanity voters.
