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.

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..

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

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?

"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.
