Who's speaking?
This has bothered me for some time: When someone asks for you on the phone and you respond with a half-declarative/half-interrogative "Speaking," are you saying:
1. "Yes, I'm the one speaking."
or
2. "Yes, with whom am I speaking?"
It's probably the former, but the latter makes sense because people always identify themselves after you say "Speaking."
