    The discussion was active voice vs passive voice, not functionality of active voice vs functionality of differently-worded active voice. They’re both still active voice.

      @PapaStevesy IMO active voice includes focusing the sentence on the subject that did the action, not the one that was acted upon but by all means let’s argue about grammatical definitions instead of the problem of motorists killing people and journalists normalizing it. 🙄
