Yesterday we were reviewing the passive voice in my French class, and
one of the points the teacher made quite emphatically is that the active
voice is preferred. I know that this is also the case with English,
although I could never understand it. The only explanation I've ever
gotten is that it's not as powerful as active but I don't really buy
that. Are any of your conlangs prejudiced against the passive voice?
Or any other voice for that matter? (Mine aren't)
