Put A Light To any way I can get default judgement vacated ? - Page 2 - Credit and Debt Problems Forums
From my memory (which could be wrong), "put a light to" literally means "set something on fire." Then, "put a light to" figuratively (in the way it is used in the example) could mean.....I have to file with the court "order to dismiss the case" as advised in the previous posts.but I don't know what i have to say. Some one please put a light to this issue.Last edited by CaseyA; 24-Aug-2011 at 03:01.

Re: Put A Light To You're right, though you might more often hear "Put a match to..." in reference to burning something.
What the speaker should have said is "Some one please shed some light on this issue.

Teacher Re: Put A Light To It's not idiomatic. It sounds strange.
