To me “On est parti on commence.” (“Let’s go, we’re starting”) could be a
very common message by normal folk.  Movie, dinner, ski, exercise....
  My guess is that most planning and discussion would be face to face and
not
digital because of the news coverage that focuses on electronic intercept
and
electronic targeting.
