        It's because we don't have a future tense in English, so we have to use "nuance" on existing tenses.

          I guess it all depends on which words you insert. "will be", "is scheduled to be" or "was" all come immediately to mind as options.

            If you ask a question, Ok when it's closed - It says Sept 4th. It's perfect that you have to recall date :laugh: BTW instead of closed , I would have used "Completion Date" so there wouldn't be a confusion. Thanks,

              "Bug-fixing start date" is probably more accurate.

                I see they are already using my time travel application.

                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                  As with a resume (CV), using past tense eliminates having to change tense later. Reducing maintenance is all up-side. :thumbsup:
