Does the term "within 7 days" mean include the 7th day?
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.

word choice - "In the last 3 months" vs "in the past 3 months ...
Today is Oct. 13, 2010. It can be argued that in the last 3 months would be intuitively understood as the time frame from 8/13/2010 to 10/12/2010, while in the past three months would mean July, August, and September.

Last, This, and Next (days of the week) [duplicate]
For example, today is Tuesday, April 14th. If I say, "last Saturday" I mean April 11th; if I say, "this Saturday" I mean April 18th; and if I say "next Saturday" I mean April 25th - although I admit it gets a little ambiguous when "this" saturday is several days away.

“Have you seen...” or “Did you see...?”
Have you seen Michael today? Have you seen Michael in the last 3 days / 3 years / 30 years? These phrases are all correct. "Did" cannot apply: it is used for a "remote" past: one that is "detached" from this time, day, week, etc. Did you see Michael this morning?

Hello [Comma?] John, - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange
Hello Jane, It was a pleasure spending time with you and the children yesterday. Today, speakers of the English language will generally prefer the latter version (that has only one comma after the word Jane) in written form and when read aloud.
