To desist

10. To desist

Some people really hate those who interrupt. It is a morality thing at heart. Personal preference. Yet can be vital when someone is full throttle in a lengthy diatribe. Useful if used at the right moment to keep things on subject and on track. It is also a way to verify what someone is suggesting – clarify before they move on to the next point. It can be used in a measured way with no ill effect. Balance once again.
