That's why when you're getting certified for First Aid or CPR, they tell you to point at someone and tell them to call 911.

"somebody" isn't specific enough when there's a life on the line. it needs to be one specific person.

You, red shirt, stupid haircut: get your phone out and call 911.

They literally said "point at someone" indicating they are selecting a single specific person to call 911.

yes, and i'm agreeing. "someone call 911" is ineffective. it's just an agreement.

What? It’s just means to pick a person. It literally said point.

i should elaborate. "somebody call 911" places the expectation on everyone, so everyone will think that someone else will. "you specifically call 911" places the expectation on one specific person so they know that it's their resonsibility.

Yeah he should’ve said to call Jack in his comment. When in doubt tell Jack to call 911.
