Hello Maxim, >>>Now, for the first part. 'Hold Over' is not clear and is not correct >>>English. It should be either 'Hold for' or 'Send in'. That is, 'Hold >>>for 2 hrs' or 'Send in 2 hrs'. > > Dictionaries give "hold over" as a sinonym for "postpone" or "delay", > with the following examples: > > The film was held over for weeks (the meaning is here "to prolong the > engagement of the film") We will have to hold over these files until > tomorrow (the meaning is to "save", "delay") Well, maybe I shouldn't have said that it is not correct English, but after 50 of speaking the language I just play it by ear and if the questions is: - Do you want me to send this now? The answer that 'sounds' better to me is: - No, hold it for 2 hrs. Or: - No, send it in 2 hrs. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
