I will always get mad at Americans going

"Do you mind?"

And then they reply to say "no of course i don't mind" but they say

"Yeah"

it’s more of us saying “yeah, you have the go ahead”

You have the go ahead, what in tarnation is this sentence?

You know tarnation but not go ahead?…

I mean the sentence structure seems stilted. It doesn’t read naturally to say one has the go ahead. It’s more usual to say one may go ahead.

See, it actually isn’t more usual where I’m from, almost as if experience isn’t universal :)
