Default Re: How would you define the future time?

You said to my example:
Ex: Today will be a rainy day.

Today is 24 hours and a day can be from dawn till dusk.

Do you really believe this yourself? "Today" is not the 'day'?

If I say "John is a strange guy", would you say in a similar way that there is John and there is a guy that is strange?
