/usr/share/emacs/26.3/lisp/net/ange-ftp.el.gz grammar problem:
;; For example: if find-file is given a filename of:
;;
;; /ange@anorman:/tmp/notes
;;
;; then ange-ftp spawns an FTP process, connect to the host 'anorman' as
^s
;; user 'ange', get the file '/tmp/notes' and pop up a buffer containing the
^s ^s
;; contents of that file as if it were on the local filesystem. If ange-ftp
;; needs a password to connect then it reads one in the echo area.

I'm not a native English speaker, but to me it sounds like active
voice. What's wrong with this?
Best regards, Michael.

Hmm, there is a mix of active and passive voice. I've pushed your
proposed changes, closing the bug.
Best regards, Michael.

Not active and passive, but singular and plural.
