I titled the previous post as
“Notes from a bimonthly gathering of food trucks in Hollywood, Florida.” I
noted that the Food Trucks @ Young Circle were bimonthly from this
sentence:
Starting tonight and every other Monday …
Food Trucks at Young Circle Every Monday, Starting
Tonight (and yes, I didn't notice the huge headline at the top of
the article)
To me, the phrase “every other Monday” translates to “this Monday, not
this Monday, this Monday, not this Monday”—in other words, you skip
a Monday.
Bunny informed me that no, it does not mean that; as phrased it meant
“this Monday, and all the Mondays after that”—all other Mondays.
Aaaaaaah!
Biweekly—is that “twice a
week” or “every two weeks?”
Even the word I used, “bimonthly”, can appear to mean two different things.
Man, I hate antagonistic phrases …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
