The store was given verbal warnings but its premises continued to be overcrowded at about 7.15pm later that day, and was issued an advisory letter.
Should it be"issued with" instead?
Thanks.

"With" is unnecessary.
My friend just told me "issued" is American English, whereas "issued with" is British English. Is he correct?
@tanguatlay,
In the very poorly written sentence you are analyzing, "issued" is the correct use.
To make "issued with" correct, you would need to rewrite the sentence.
@ehBeth,
Thanks, ehBeth.
Could you please show me how it should be rephrased?
@tanguatlay,
If you just isolate the clause in question, "The story was issued a letter."
Stumble It!
