Bob Baker has declared that National Originality Day. Why those words? "I ran the uses of 'passion' and 'passionate' through a data base several thousand publications on a random day: March 22, 1996. There were 211 uses of "passion" and 101 uses of passionate. Then I ran the same search on the same day a decade later, March 22, 2006. There were 628 uses of 'passion,' a 198% increase. There were 247 uses of 'passionate,' a 144% increase."
