Britain English and American English
Dear teachers,
I saw an expression "taking those decisions" in a TV program.
And the dictionary says it is the British English, meaning "making an important or formal decision".
I wlould like to have your review please.
Thanks and best regards,
David Kim

Right, "take a decision" is a natural and common usage in BrE. I do remember hearing it said that it is used less in AmE. t1%3B%2Ctook%20the%20decision%3Aeng_gb_2012%3B%2Cc0 Hopefully an AmE speaker will be able to comment on this too.
