[quote=Anonymous][quote] Anonymous wrote: Here's another one: A picture "made" instead of "taken"- "Have you had your picture made yet?" or "I went to a great photographer to have my picture made" It sounds so awkward! I've never heard someone say that ever. That sounds like old English - back to the times where people sat for paintings.[/quote] well, a slightly different context, but I write about art and particularly photography frequently, and the term 'made' in reference to the production of photographs is often preferred over "taken," since the former emphasizes the artist's creative intention, while the later emphasizes the purely mechanical aspects of the medium.
