No Tangential Only Essential #16
In Time vs. On Time?
Imagine two people arrive at 9:45 for a meeting that starts at 10:00. One person says: "I'm on time." The other says: "I'm in time." Why are they BOTH correct?

@Linus Z @Alex Understated @Serge Gray @Gulistan Asan @Evelyne Vincent Thank you very much for participation and valuable thoughts. I want to give you some more food for thoughts with the following. Happy learning") Compare the following examples: A: Did the flight leave on time?B: Yes. It was scheduled to leave at 7:00, and it left at 7:00. A: And did the flight leave in time?B: In time for what?A: In time to avoid the storm.B: Yes, it left before the storm. A: Did your train arrive on time?B: Yes. It arrived on schedule at 6:30.A: And were you in time to catch your next train?B: Yes, I had enough time to transfer. A: Did your meeting start on time?B: Yes. It started at 10:30.A: And did the meeting finish in time for lunch?B: Actually, it finished early. So we were in time for lunch. A: I woke up on time today.B: But were you in time for work?A: No. There was too much traffic, so I was late. What’s happening here? on time → matching a schedule in time → early enough for something When you say “on time,” you’re thinking about the moment something begins or happens. Even if you arrive early, you’re still on time for the meeting. When you say “in time,” you’re thinking about the period of time before something—whether there is enough time for something to happen. So if you arrive at 9:45, you’re in the window before the meeting begins. Final note: “In time” is most often used when there’s a deadline or consequence. For example, characters in movies and TV shows often need to do something in time—before it’s too late: “We got there just in time to jump on the boat.” “I wasn’t on time for the concert. But I arrived in time to hear my favorite song.” “They killed the monster in time to save the village.”

@Shane Peterson Great session! Everybody knows what to work on. Thanks a lot.
EAT - simple?
During our last meeting one person brought down the phrase "what's eating you?" Such a simple word as "eat" takes on different meanings depending on the context. Then I recalled CS precious advice that we should focus on high frequency words and look for different patterns and meanings in which they occur. So, I decided to hunt down those with "eat". In the attachment you can see the results. Happy studying!
