Watching Kipper with my son tonight, I was struck by the phrase 'Ready, steady, go!' I don't often hear this sequence. In my upbringing, it has been mostly 'On your mark, get set, go!'

Ready Steady Go Kids India

I had thought the difference might be between British English and North American English, but when I search for 'Ready Steady Go,' I get a whole lot of unrelated hits related to music.Is there a regional preference in the usage of these phrases to start a race, or are they perhaps associated with particular sports? The terms are all derived from the start of a foot race:'On your mark'/'Take your mark'/'Ready' - Get in your lanes, put your toes (or hands if using a starting block) on the line, and prepare to run/swim/skate/bike your butt off.' Get set'/'Set'/'Steady' - Assume and hold your 'launch' pose; this is different than simply 'taking your mark', because in most races with this or a similar procedure, no movement is allowed by the runners between when this is said and when the gun goes off or 'go' is called. In British colloquy, the term 'wait for it' is a reference to a slight movement noticed by the starter but not severe enough to call a 'false start'; it's less common in American parlance.' GO'/(starter pistol fires) - haul your carcass.
