Hi Ray, I was just reading your article on free will. I just wanted to say that it is incorrect, grammatically speaking, to say make a choice or make a decision. What we actually do is TAKE a choice or decision.
Thank you for your site, Sam
Dear Sam: I'm not sure I am ready to "TAKE a decision on that theory as yet."
My American Heritage College Dictionary has nearly one hundred definitions for
the word "take," and almost exclusively, the word take means to do something
PHYSICAL--the direct opposite of "coming to a MENTAL conclusion about something."
On the other hand, this same dictionary has for a definition of "make," "To form in the MIND."
Sorry, but I believe you strike out on this one, Sam But keep trying.
God be with you,
Ray
