    @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. 🙄

      You’re the one doing that. Killed/died same difference, but I apologize for not using the same verb as the original quote for clarity.

      I mean, you’re literally the one who started the argument, being dismissive and condescending about it now just makes you look like a sore loser.
