    I think many people only know what it is because MS Word would (does?) suggest rewriting passive voice into active.

      Its a commonly taught thing in English classes where I’m from (Ontario) – we would get harped on it fairly regularly

        It was common in the States when I was in school. How well someone learned to extract those lessons and apply them is a different matter. Is it more important for someone to learn how to use active voice over passive, or remember the lecture where they were told what that means? Even if you were an A student how long would you remember if you weren’t constantly applying that knowledge?
