I found myself in the other camp - but equally bewildered at first. Can I ask you if you would have drawn the same inference for "the deadline has been moved forward"? That phrase invokes panic in me - does it make you feel calmer? I've very briefly searched for that phrase on Google (there are plenty of hits for news stories) and each usage I've found so far is in the "becoming earlier" sense.

- greendestiny 17y agoHuh? How is two days earlier Friday?
- scott_s 17y agoIt's not. Which is the point: different contexts make the same words mean different things for me.
