Cách sử dụng
When people say "the letter of the law," they are referring to the exact words of a law or rule, rather than its spirit or intent. It means that you are following the rule exactly as it is written, without any interpretation or flexibility. This phrase is often used to describe situations where someone is being very strict about following rules, even if it seems unnecessary or unfair. For example, a teacher who strictly enforces a school's dress code, even for minor violations, is following the letter of the law.
