    Am I unwell or is this just bad English? I think this is an example of textbook correct but totally unnatural

    Thread was talking about if it was correct/natural:

    That would entirely take the focus from the main topic, which is him.

    I have just been informed keeps the subject as him while being much more natural. I have been told would be more casual. I don’t think there’s anything inherently unnatural about passive voice.
