May 16, 2012 · "On" works better here. It implies that he died at some point on the 5th day of the treatment. I would use "at" to reference a very specific point in time (rather than a relatively longer period of time, such as a day), for example: "He died on the 5th day of the treatment at 3:02 PM".

Aug 28, 2014 · Due at or before 11:59:59 PM on that date - that is, before the specified day ends. Due at or before 11:59:59 PM on the previous date - that is, before the specified day begins. Due at or before a specific time on the date, such as the …

But people often take today to be the first day of the count, so if on Monday someone says "within 3 days" they are thinking day 1=today, Monday; day 2=Tuesday, day 3=Wednesday. There's also the perennial question of whether the last day ends on the multiple of 24 hours from the time when the deadline was given, if it means midnight of that day ...

Millennia are made of centuries and decades, centuries of decades and years. Years are months, months of weeks, but not precisely. Days are made of hours, but what do we call the several imprecise periods in a day: morning, noon time, afternoon, evening, night?

Commented Aug 23, 2014 at 5:48 3 @tohecz You are correct that in the US they were baseline in C.20 , but historically they are superscript in English - it's a style of abbreviation, e.g. 'equation'->'eq^n' (superscript may be underlined too).

Aug 6, 2014 · Your example is correct. In 100-200 days means that it will happen no sooner than 100 days from now and no later than 200 days. Within 100-200 days means it could happen any time between now and 200 days, but most likely fall between the 100th and 200th day. Within. within (wɪˈðɪn) prep. in; inside; enclosed or encased by

Aug 16, 2011 · As no time was supplied, it might be compromised to be high noon August 18, 2011. I guarentee you though, it definitely means before the end of the business day August 18, 2011, whatever hour that may be, and more than likely does not mean until midnight the following day unless they have 24 hour receiving.

Dec 9, 2010 · Should not be confusing to anyone. Plus, since the only confusion could possibly be that it was due a day earlier, there can be no misunderstanding excuse for not getting the paper in on time. ;-) The entire convention is based on the typical human schedule of being awake during the day and asleep during the night. Even the 'wee hours' can be ...

Sep 8, 2015 · During the winter months, the sun sets before 5:00 p.m. in many parts of the country, so "five o'clock at night" could refer to either 5:00 a.m. (it's still dark) and 5:00 p.m. (the sun has set). During the summer months, the sun rises before 6:00 a.m. in …

Apr 29, 2015 · The following would all meet the requirement of within 30 days: 1 day, 3.14159265358979... days, 29 days, 29 1/2 days, 29.314159265358979... days. Within 30 days or less means exactly the same thing as within 30 days. That is, the "or less"" is superfluous; it doesn't add anything.
