A Quickie Before I Go Off To Snooze

Я мурлыкаю потому что я хочу к.

Would you put the 'k' at the end or not? Just wondering.

:You mean "impersonal", don't you?

Here it should have been "impersonal", yes. You are right.

:We've always been told that it's English that likes passive forms more than Russian :) ("the work is done" etc.)

In my experience, Russians do like their passives. You can often tell an English text written by a Russian by its abundance of passive voice (that and missng articles :) My own comment is an example. I did try to cut down on passives though.
Mind you, in both languages active voice sounds more dynamic and to the point, it's a good style and also easier to learn.
