Grumbler, normally we induct people into the army or into the Hall of Fame... but not into "this" in the sense of "the loop" of things.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Elena, this sounds like instructions to a photographer - again, not idiomatic in this context.

Tanya, ... oh, Tanya :(

To be honest, I've never heard anyone use "the picture" like that. We usually use it when we refer to a situation that involves other people: "Divorce is always more devastating when there are children in the picture." https://www.google.com/search?biw=1282&bih=1267&q=%22when+there+are+children+in+the+picture%22&oq=%22when+there+are+children+in+the+picture%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3...72758.74236.0.74464.15.11.0.0.0.0.200.1080.3j4j1.8.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..11.0.0.KO_vscLwxsQ

Yes, but remember, Google books doesn't distinguish the literal sense from the abstract sense of the phrase.

I see. So better to forget it, thanks )

@"normally we induct people into the army or into the Hall of Fame... but not into "this" in the sense of "the loop" of things. "

What about "induction" for all new employees in many companies? Would it be incorrect to say that they are inducted or that companies induct them?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Yes, you induct people into groups, organizations, movements, etc. which basically means that you entice them to join and then formally admit them.
