CAUTION! NOT A TEACHER.


(1) I think (repeat: think) that you are 100% correct. I think (think) that the author was somewhat confused about time differences (as are all of us!).

(2) Consider these two terrible examples of mine:

After my airplane had landed at the airport, I looked around for the limousine that was

supposed to be waiting for me, but it wasn't there. So I took a bus into the city. (I

was not about to take a taxi, especially since some drivers have dishonest meters.)

After my airplane had landed at the airport, I found everything running smoothly and

encountered no difficulties. There was supposed to have been a violent protest here

yesterday by airport workers, but I found no sign of it.
