Random quote of the day:

“We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice—that is, until we stop saying ‘It got lost,’ and say ‘I lost it.’”

—Sydney J. Harris, On the Contrary

Hmmm. I have progressed from "It got lost" to "It's lost" and only occasionally "I lost it." Still have some growing up to do.

Passive voice is a favorite trick of politicians.
