peer agreement (net): +1Issue the instruction which follows Explanation: If you Google "a pris l'instruction" (with the quotes), hundreds of examples come up which indicate that this is indeed one of those slightly confusing cases: "take (prendre) an instruction" in French can either mean "issue" or "obey". It's really prendre in the sense of "(deign to) take up... and put in a slot where your minions will deal with it in due course". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 23 hrs (2020-10-27 18:32:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It's slightly pompous, I think, but "promulgate" might be overdoing it. |
