Default I want to understand something.
People would say: "ready, get set, go!"

but isn't "get set" the same as "ready"? why would would say "ready", then when the person is ready, say it again?

well, think of it as a race

ready? - runners get to their start position in the blocks

get set - they put their rears in the air

Go! - RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!!

ah. thanks.

English is not my first language. Sometimes there are things that I don't understand.

I just saw an ad for Chevy and was wondering why it was phrased like that.

I'm don't feel like a Z06. Though lately, I've been a bit cavalier.
