Hi, Alan! Recently you wrote in a message to Alexander Koryagin:
AK> If it was me "I am all set". Yes, it was me,
AK> so I am all set now.
AK> But what does "all set" mean in other words?
AI> No action needed on your part.
My CANADIAN OXFORD says "ready to proceed". Either way, the idea is
that if Alexander expresses no objection there shouldn't be any further drama.
AK> PS: Besides, they wrote "was", not "were".
AI> Yep, that seems correct in this case.
I would say so. Perhaps Alexander is thinking of situations where a
person is imagining e.g. how it might feel to be in somebody else's shoes. If
money were no object I'd buy one of those fairy tale German castles & equip it
with a pipe organ. In real life Yahoo wanted to ensure the person claiming to
be Alexander was Alexander when he used different hardware &/or software. :-)
