look at meaning "consider"
: Though look at is often used orally and in informal writing to mean give attention to, as in Informed sources tell us that the court is going to look at the case, some people object to this wording as vague and unacceptably casual when used in formal settings. For such contexts, choose a more precise word such as examine, study, investigate, analyze, or scrutinize, depending on your intended meaning.
