Right, this is annoying me now. Halfway through a letter and I suddenly can't decide which is proper - do you make a decision, or take a decision?

"It is not a decision I have taken lightly" sounds alright to me, but I wouldn't say "I need to take a decision", because that sounds wrong.

WHAT AM ANSWER

I would say that you make a decision, but take an action.

"It is not a decision I have made lightly"
"It is not an action I have taken lightly"

I always agree with Craster. This disturbs me.

I agree.


I agree also, and that wasn't a decision I took lightly.

I agree that agreeing with Craster is disturbing.
