Prendre avantage n'est pas, à proprement parler, un anglicisme. On le trouve dans Littré, et le Harrap en donne aussi quelques exemples. [...] Par contre, cette locution est d'un emploi assez rare en français. Au Canada, sans doute sous l'influence de l'anglais, on tend à en faire une locution usuelle. On lui préférera pour les choses [selon le contexte] : profiter, abuser, tirer avantage/profit [et] pour les personnes : abuser, exploiter. 2, record 2, French, - profiter%20de
