Asked on March 26, 2021 in Other.
Should I simply say Buy this book?
In this case, “pick up” means get. In other words, in “get”, as of the words “get”. “Pick up” should be treated more as a phrasal verb. Where does “up” originate in the way a coin is picked up from the floor? You could, for example, reserve a book at the library and pick it up when it’s ready for you.
In a sense, do libraries let you borrow a book from a local library? He wants you to get your own copy, hence the use of you. Am I, for sure, an idiot for using you as an indirect object? Is “Common” colloquial or traditional? Or something else? This sentence is of the more informal nature. If you really want to hear more like this, pick up a copy for yourself!

I think timing mode would actually work for label.
What if we consider elapsed time as one setting? In computing, the term was wall clock time.
If you want to specify the other setting of OS, I recommend operation time. In aviation, the term for the time that the engine is running is called Hobbs time (Emphasis added). (I doubt that your users would be familiar with that reference, though.)
