[The comic shows three different ways of counting down]

[Around the first 2 in red curly brackets: "Too easy to mix up"]

One ... Two ... Three! X Deprecated

One ... Two ... Three ... Go! X Deprecated

Three ... Two ... One ... Go! ISO Standard

[Caption below the comic:]

If I were in charge of ISO, the first thing I'd do would be to standardize the way people count out loud before doing something in sync.

Title text:Anyone who is caught counting 'three ... two ... one ... zero ... GO!' will be punished with a lifetime of eating only ISO standard food samples.
