"You may go first!"

é uma frase bastante comum. pode-se substituir o "may" por "can", que não é gramatical exato, mas é de uso corrente, especialmente nos EUA.

Hi, Gilmar, I was not sarcastic at all or at least i didn't mean to. I really agree with the other question pick and I'm sorry if it sounded the wrong way. I understood you answered the other one first too, but perhaps I'm wrong.
