1 First of all: "First of all" is a phrase often used for beginning a list, both in written and spoken English. It is more natural than Jean's term "firstly". Note that using "firstly" is perfectly acceptable to begin a list with several points (only if it is followed by "secondly", however, and not "thirdly"!)
1 Once and for all: The expression "once and for all" conveys finality and sometimes even frustration on the part of the speaker. The use of this expression often suggests that information has been repeated several times already. For example: Let me make it clear to you, once and for all, that I am the boss. This expression cannot be used to signal the beginning of a list.
1 Once: "Once" is generally used as an adverb to indicate "how many times something has happened", or in another context "when something happened" (Once upon a time). "Once" isn't used to signal the beginning of a list.
1 One for all: Jean isn't one of the three musketeers, but if he were, this might be what he would say.
2 Finally: "Finally" is a term often used for ending a list (or making any sort of conclusion), both in written and spoken English. Note that Jean's term "lastly" is perfectly acceptable to conclude a list, as well.
2 Eventually: In English, the term "eventually" describes a process, action or event which occurs "over time" or "over a period of time". For example, "I promised my mother that I would eventually return to school and get my diploma". "Eventually" cannot be used to conclude a list, and has no place in this construction.
2 At last: "At last" cannot be used to conclude a list. Although this expression is sometimes synonymous with "finally", "at last" is specifically indicates that something has happened "over a considerable length (or period) of time" and often adds emphasis to constructions. Example: The weekend is here at last. Using "at last" here is grammatically incorrect.
2 Last of all: "Last of all" isn't used to conclude lists such as this one. Using it here is unnatural. Although a good way to begin a list is with the expression "first of all", "last of all" isn't the best way to conclude it.
3 gets here: Let me know when my fax "gets here" is one way to rephrase this sentence. Note that Jean's term "arrives" is perfectly acceptable in this context. "To get" is an extremely versatile word in English, and in this context it indicates the sense of movement in general, and an arrival specifically. Example: My brother is getting here by train.
3 lands: An object can "land" in the figurative sense, for example: "The report landed on Bruno's desk this morning". However it would be very unnatural to use the term in this example, and we certainly wouldn't be improving Jean's English by using it!
3 faxes: Although "to fax" is often used as a verb, we wouldn't say "please call me when it faxes" to describe the arrival of a fax.
3 comes out: "To come out" can indicate describe the emergence of something, however we wouldn't use this expression to express the arrival of a fax.
