Unfortunately it doesn't parse a Scottish colloquial expression such as "the next again day at 4pm". Which means in two days time at 4pm :)

- ar7hur 12y agoI'm very excited about supporting Scottish colloquial expressions! Working on it now, thanks :)
- AbsoluteDestiny 12y agoColloquialisms will pose tricky when they conflict. For example, "3pm next friday" is deciphered by duckling as Friday, 3 October 2014 at 15:00:00 +0000 (UTC) which would not be correct if talking colloquially where I grew up as "next" means not this one but the one after or, more generally, "the one next week not the one this week". This is probably not the case everywhere, which is why duckling uses next and this interchangeably.

- munificent 12y agoHell, I don't know what a fortnight is either!
- samdb 12y agoFrom 'fourteen nights' - two weeks
- pacaro 12y agoIt also doesn't understand basic britishisms like "Friday week" or "a week on Friday"
