Dreyer's English

What a delight.

For posterity — in writing about how passive voice can be used judiciously (see what I did there), Dreyer concludes with this perfect paragraph:

“‘A car rammed into counter-protesters during a violent white nationalist rally,' for example, is a sentence that may legitimately be criticized for neglecting to point out that someone was at the wheel of said car; in this case, though, the avoidance of explicit agency is a moral failure, not a grammatical one.”
