Is written a predicate adjective here?
Friend: Where's the new time table?
Me: it's written on the notice board
If it were passive, the active of it would be
‘Someone writes it on the notice board which would make it a general action’
as in English is spoken all around the world [by? People] which doesn't make any sense...

- I agree.
- "Written" must be construed as a predicate adjective in traditional grammar.
