Beloved Bingley ~
Do you, perhaps, lead me like a sheep to be slaughtered? Nay, you are too fine a fellow to harbour such base designs. Knowing full well that I will be excoriated for making this distinction, I will answer your question.
Father Steve, is 'graduate' a transitive verb in your part of the world?
Yes, graduate is a transitive verb. It is, despite widespread and persistent misuse, a school, college or university which graduates and it is the successful students who are thereby graduated. The common use is a barbarism and marks the user as careless and a person likely to kick dogs, forget his/her mother's birthday and put the milk carton back in the refrigerator after drinking directly from the spout.
