Pfffffffffft Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 shit.. both.. because if we are talking about keeping a schedule then it is moved back...because on a timed schedule now is now. later is back. "our schedule is BACKED up for a solid month" "we are gonna have to move that BACK to a LATER date" if we are talking literal then the date is LITERALLY moved forward..in a calender since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAR Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The fact of the matter is your appointment is on the 8th. "They are moving your appointment to the 8th." Now you have no problems with the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAR Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 T;6051808']the glass that is...... its half full Its twice as big as it needs to be. get rid of the unnecessary and it works perfectly. forward and backwards are merely modifiers that serve no purpose. cut them out and you have no problems.

mindvapors Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 This has perplexed me at times as well. But here is the answer: If it has moved to a date closer to the present, it has been moved forward. And if its moved to a later date, then its farther away from you, or moved back. Just think of it as distance from the present and it should come easy. Now what i still don't understand is how people can say "its a quarter of 5" and mean 4:45. That doesn't make any fucking sense. It should be "its a quarter til 5" = 4:45, while "Its a quarter of 5" = 5:15. And yet EVERYBODY fucking says it, and thinks i'm a fucking nutbag for pointing out that it doesn't make sense.

GucciCondom Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 There is no real answer, but in society I think the normal thing to say would be pushing it back means later in time. This is what I always see on TV shows that have lawyers or managers making appointments. I view time and the intervals of hours throughout the day as an object, like a Rolodex. This object faces me and the front of it is the closest time to me, and the back of it is the farthest time away from me. So if I go to a later time, I am going back into the Rolodex of time, and if I am going to an earlier time I am moving forward. So back is later and forward is sooner, to me.

itsallafarce Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 this isn't very perplexing at all. it's simple. what is perplexing on the other hand is why weren't there A-10's at the beginning of this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, thats pretty much what i said. But i guess your explanation was easier to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
