Go ahead
I participated in a conference call today. It was a support call during which I mostly sat back and listened to the interraction between a colleague and two technicians. It was hard not to notice that the instructions given were rarely to just perform a procedure, they almost always involved the invitation for my colleage to “Go ahead and…”. After a while I decided to entertain myself by doing a “go ahead” count. In one minute the technicians delivered twelve times, two of them in one sentence.

I’m going to go ahead and ask you to come in this Saturday, and did you get the memo on the TPS reports? I’m going to go ahead and send you that memo again….
