Blacknomi, thanks a million for that. Unfortunately, typos do creep in, no matter how careful I try to be. Let me know if you spot any others.

Tdol, what do you mean? I don't get it.

I saw him the other day.
I saw him another day. ( Why is this wrong?)
I'll meet you the other day.
I'll meet you another day.


Confused. :?
