I've been awake for 3 days. I want to paraphrase this sentence: I haven't been sleeping for 3 days. I haven't slept for 3 days. Do these sentences have the same meaning ? Thank you.

 

What does until mean in the following? You need to deliver this product within 2 days (until August 18 2011) to meet your deadline and get paid. Does this mean that I have to deliver the produ...

 

In the phrase " past year " year denotes a period of 365 days before the time being mentioned; " Last year " refers to the previous calender year. Situation 1: Today is Jan. 1 2015 I went to NY on Jan. 1 2014. Then I would say: " I went to NY in the past year ". Situation 2: Today is July. 20 2015 I went to NY on Jan. 1 2014.

 

The word "on" is commonly used with the days of the week-"on Monday " "on Saturday." It seems that using the word "on" is not correct terminology and it should be only "tomorrow " "Monday " etc.

 

The quiz covers all the material up to the week of the quiz Sept.30 - Oct.6. Does this mean that September 29 is the last date or that the week Sept.30 - Oct.6 is included in this span?

They are both correct for different situations. For example As on 16 May he again failed to arrive at work on time. and As of 16 May he will have worked here for a full year.

 

Would you think "the next 10 days" includes today? If not would there be a clearer way to put it to refer to today and the following 9 days?

 

Today is Monday. Last week is strictly the period of seven days ending at midnight on Sunday and the last two weeks is strictly the period of fourteen days ending at midnight on Sunday. No one would refer to anything occurring today yesterday or the day before as taking place last week or in the last two weeks. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

There's also the perennial question of whether the last day ends on the multiple of 24 hours from the time when the deadline was given if it means midnight of that day or closing time of that day or what. And does "7 days" mean 7 calendar days or 7 business days? Etc.
