why malaysians like using dateline? cos deadline has the "dead" word? or they don't know dateline is not exactly correct? QUOTE Dateline is the day and time something happened, most often a news report: the definition of dateline "Dateline Friday, June 26, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., the U.S. Supreme Court has announced that same-sex marriage is required by the Constitution."
the definition of deadline is the time by which a thing must be done. In news reporting, there's also a superlative called "drop dead deadline,"the time beyond with change for the next public report is impossible. drop-deadline "The Supreme Court's deadline for issuing the opinion was June 30th, the last day of Court before the Justices went on vacation." http://www.dictionary.com/browse/dateline?s=thttp://www.dictionary.com/browse/deadline?s=tTo those that wanna actually learn: 5 Email Terms You Are Misusing http://community.jobscentral.com.sg/articl...ou-are-misusingThis post has been edited by jrrsim: Mar 31 2017, 09:37 PM |

Dateline" refers to the line of the newspaper where the date and place of publishing is printed. "Deadline", on the other hand, is the last time that something can be completed without being late. For example, the deadline for the newspaper is Saturday at 2 o'clock.

It does not matter. In language, there is no right or wrong. It is what people in locality understand. Terror for Malaysian is Hebat.  |

You are dead if you don't pass up your work on time. So, it's deadline!  |
