Comments: | GG5 has "to sue" first, but that doesn't mean it's correct. I'm happy to accept Hendrik's view - he's the one with constant contact with the language. |

Comments: | When this term is used in the news it usually describes the kind of public communication for which we would use expressions like "raise an issue" or "make an appeal", while the meaning of "sue" - and especially that of "resorting to arms/violence" - is much rarer. In view of this, i'd like to suggest we reorder the English expressions as shown above. |
