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.
