Humans are a highly evolved species. In the realm of science, we have soared higher than anyone even a hundred years ago could've imagined. In mathematics, we have machines performing billions of calculations a second. We have a language so diverse and complex that we can express virtually anything in existence. Communication has helped us build empires, create monuments, and conquer obstacles previously thought impossible. So, someone please tell me how we have not found a better way to coordinate an action than "on three"?
It's meant to save time but inevitable turns into "do you mean 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2, 3, go?"
Why don't we find an alternate like "Ready, set, go"? Do we like signalling the count on our fingers too much?
Personally, I say we do "on goose". That way, if you realize you need more time once the count begins, you keep saying "duck."
You are such a pithy joker.
