[LM_NET] OT: English usage

[Mary Ellen Scribner <mescribner@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Some of my American and Canadian colleagues got into a "discussion" as to whether 
it was incorrect usage to say "take a photo" instead of "make a photo." Is this a 
regional thing? Do you say "take my photo" or "make my photo"?
 
TIA,
Mary Ellen
