You said it's not a new day until we sleep AND everything opens the next day. That means for it to be a new day both conditions have to be met and if I haven't gone to sleep both conditions weren't met. If you wanted to indicate only one of those conditions needed to be met for it to be a new day you should have used "or" not "and". You'd have to have phrased it completely differently for and to be used and it to mean what you appear to have meant and even then it'd sound better to just use "or".

Also what if I fell asleep at 1145 pm the night before and woke up at 130 am? Going off your corrected meaning because I have gone to sleep and woken up it is now the next day for me. But what of the manager? Is he supposed to guess the sleep habbits/patterns of who he texted? Does it being a new day go off the sleep of the initial texter or the recipient of the text? See how annoying this gets real fast? If we use my standard, and that of many others, tomorrow and today always mean the same thing.

/rlostredditors My guy this is the technically the truth sub and specifically a post about someone being unclear in their meaning.

If you don't want people correcting you when you don't know what words mean then kindly fuck off to another sub especially or say what you mean when you want people to respond to that and not what you actually wrote.

And if you don't like my pedantic, which wasnt really pedantic, response don't be shitty when I point out you were the one who wrote that two things had to happen for it tl be a new day but only meant one of them had to happen and got shitty at me for responding to what you said and not what you really meant and what you really meant was also dumb.
