What decision that you made originally seemed insignificant but then turned out to be life-changing? (lemmy.ml)

Obviously it doesn't matter, but my brain was stuck on the title for a while because you make a decision, not "take" a decision.

It's bad enough on its own that you can't afford to fuck it up.

My brain got stuck on if the past tense of take is took, the past tense of make must be mook

And from this we can infer that the version of the lake house that exists in the past is called the look house?

Who owns the lake?

And if there are more than one house ind the past and the plural of mouse is mice, it would be look hice.

(Seriously considered if choosing English for the language of this comment was appropriate :D)

If you've ever met King Charles, you'll know that's exactly how he pronounces "house"

"take a decision" is also a valid phrase: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/take%20a%20decision

In English English decisions can be taken as well as made… although it’s possibly more common to use “make” in the present tense and “took” in the past tense. i.e. “They took the decision to make no more decisions until tomorrow.”
