Nedra Rivera Huntington United States 17:25 Mar 1, 2007  If you're on the road, you can refer to something in the office as "(back) in the office". It's redundant, yes, but very common. Rosa Rubio Spain ASKER 17:22 Mar 1, 2007  Even so, this sentence still sounds strange to me... what is the point of using "back" here? Nedra Rivera Huntington United States 17:07 Mar 1, 2007  I think the original is missing a word, as "leave back" seems to cry out for an object. It wouldn't sound quite so strange if the whole sentence were abbreviated: "take with or leave back" Rosa Rubio Spain ASKER 17:05 Mar 1, 2007  Good point! This is why I am in some doubt as to the true meaning of "leave back"... Nedra Rivera Huntington United States 16:49 Mar 1, 2007  Shouldn't it be "leave it back"? Automatic update in 00:
