Not Being Fourth Right
(I have noticed that our assignment due date is different in two different places – one says “Wednesday 4th” and another says “Thursday 5th”. I decide to email my tutor to clarify when the assignment is actually due.)
Email: “I have noticed an inconsistency in the due date. Is it due on Wednesday 4th June or Thursday 5th?”
Reply: “It’s due on Thursday 4th”.
(Even more confused, I go and speak to him face to face.)
Me: “So is the assignment due on Wednesday or Thursday?”
Tutor: “It’s due on the 4th.”
Me: “So Wednesday the 4th?”
Tutor: “It’s due on the 4th.”
Me: “So it’s definitely not due on Thursday, it’s due on Wednesday?”
Tutor: “It’s due on the 4th.”
Me: “In your email you said Thursday…”
Tutor: “It’s due on the 4th.”
Me: “So it’s definitely on Wednesday the 4th, not Thursday the 5th?”
Tutor: “It’s due on the 4th.”
Me: “Okay, so the latest time I can turn in my assignment is Wednesday the 4th June, correct?”
Tutor: “It’s due on the 4th.”
(It was due on Thursday the 5th.)
