I'm dealing with an IT project manager who has never written a line of code in her life but she has a B.A. in English degree with distinction from one of the Seven Sisters. It doesn't help that she's 20 years my junior I've reviewing some system documentation prepared by a colleague whose first language isn't English before routing it to her.

So, bww philologists, I'm virtually groveling before you via this message board. Which of the two phrases in the subject meets muster?

Real talk...I ain't tryna see a bunch of edits from Lil' Miss Language Maven tomorrow.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. But the "along" is superfluous.

Honestly, you can use either. "Pass ____ along" is more commonly used when sharing information. "Pass ____ on" is more commonly used in connection with delegating a task or responsibility. But they can be interchangeable.

Thanks, guys. I can take the occasional snarky remark about my grammar and semantics from folks on here but not from some damn office Jannie-Come-Lately still sporting a training bra
