Day
Hi, kind people I have a confusion between get off work and take off work. I want to ask my friend when he stops his work at his job for the day. So should I ask him like this: "What time do you get off work?" Or should I ask him another way: "What time do you take off work. .

This is another linguistic issue here though. Walking with my feet (obvious, one always walks with their feet, but this is written for rhyme and rhythm) ten feet off of Beale ("ten feet off" implies "floating above" and is idiomatic for "very happy") I was walking on Beale street feeling very excited and happy to be there. .
