To me, it feels like the Activity Types should have been past-tense verbs, rather than present-tense verbs.

I.e.:

• "Accepted" rather than "Accept"
• "Added" rather than "Add"
• "Announced" rather than "Announce"
• "Arrived" rather than "Arrive"
• "Blocked" rather than "Block"
• "Created" rather than "Create"
• etc

Present-tense verbs feel like commands.

Past-tense verbs feel like events.

Activities are events not commands.
