my waifu tutor for cambridge also dont mensi to me about this. oh no.. my english vocab so poor

wasn't asking the difference actually.. asking why so many use it wrong.. you just said back what i said in the first post.. guess many forumers are really guilty of not reading before replying..

are u sure? or do u just assume they used the correct version? I created this thread after beh tahan seeing people use "dateline" again on THIS forum.. hopefully i can help raise awareness and reduce the cringeworthy "dateline" being used

haha.. yes please tell all your friends that dunno which one is correct to use due date instead

apa sarahan? depending on the context i don't see the problem

haha, glad i could help you with this, the whoel purpose of this thread actually. please use "deadline" or "due date" in the future unless u really mean the dateline on a newspaper or the international dateline

Deathline

kasi ikat mati. deadline

"With regards to" to refer to a certain matter.

deadline is deadline
there's no such thing as dateline

Revert doesn't mean reply. It means to switch back to the previous situation.

i say depends on your work, sometimes it can be dateline sometimes it can DEADline

so when is it dateline?

datingline 1800-88-2525

at work, we all use "cut-off date". Not duedate, not deadline, dateline

manglish slang

u pregnant isit?

there is an example that is *barely* acceptable. You attach a document to be signed by someone and ask them to revert the document once signed.

Revert = Reply (X)
Revert = Return something (acceptable?)

any english gurus or grammar nazis care to comment?

sounds good too!

which means it's still WRONG.. that's not manglish, that's ignorance

HAHAHAHA..

"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. The dateline will be printed and italics.

Dateline is not a commonly used word. Others have explained its meaning, which has to do with newspaper publishing. The word deadline is used in day-to-day speech to refer to the date and/or time by which something, usually work-related, must be completed.

If we're going pure grammar Nazi mode, both are wrong. But English as a language, evolves. Words take on new meanings as usage expands to more non-native speakers.

Without looking at dictionary, both are not suitable and flat out incorrect..

Revert are more like, return to the previous state/condition/situation?
