I'm going to get ice cream from Baskin Robbins sometime after 8:30 tonight. Come with me to celebrate my new major, 21H.

Whee!

I was there before that place even had a Baskin Robbins.

Also, what did your parents say?

Assuming time is closed on the past end, take some time x when you got there, I got there at a time y where y < x on the time-line.

Also, 21H is a bold move... but I applaud it.

Given that I had already said that I was there long before yesterday, your second statement contradicts your first.

01

By the way, where are we going since the Baskin Robbins people were apparently rude to Kallie on the phone?

...perhaps if I had said something like 'The first time I was there was yesterday'

That is to say that "I was there last Monday" and "I was there last Wednesday" are consistent statements.

Your argument makes no sense from a linguistics standpoint since given the context of the discussion, you should have stated the earliest time you were there to prove yourself to be ahead of everyone else. So basically you're just spouting nonsense.

Really more of a boxturtle.

Linguistics is a kind of pasta, as far as I know.

No friend, you are "just spouting nonsense". Your evocation of the "linguistics standpoint" is just nonsense. In the context of the discussion, it was only incumbent upon me (in my first post) to cite some earlier time as a time when I was there. Granted, had I said 'I'll be there tomorrow' or 'I'll be there after you', my statement would have made little sense in the given context.

If you're trying to say my assertion had some implied clause about being the first and only time I was there... I'd really have to say the following:

Really more of a boxturtle.
