Google hits ams/tc are: "has been being discussed" 1 230 000; considered 1 110 000; planned 511 000; argued_ 26 500; fought 115 000; debated 118 000; abused 488 000; served 333 000; observed 157 000; neglected 76 900; followed 587 000; implemented 541 000; offered 776 000; provided 637 000 ... The choice of verb has a very marked effect. | |
