Informal agreement
             •   You can say that again!
             •   I was just going to say that!
             •   Fine with me.
             •   You have a point there.
             •   I have no objections.
                Ini merupakan salah satu frasa persetujuan yang paling lemah dalam
                bahasa Inggris. Biasanya, orang mengatakan ini ketika mereka tidak
                benar-benar berkomitmen pada sesuatu tetapi tidak melihat alasan
                mengapa mereka harus menentangnya juga.


                Contoh :
                •   A : I think we should buy pink curtains for our study room.
                    B : I have no objections to this. You can pick whatever color you
                         want.
                •   X : We should take a break for 30 minutes and have a coffee.
                    Y : I have no objections to that plan. I’m ready for a break
                         whenever you are.


             •   Tell me about it!
                Frasa ini dianggap gaul, dan biasanya tidak digunakan dalam bahasa
                Inggris formal.
