We are selling some real estate, and received a puzzling communication from our agent. She mentioned some contingencies that might or might not occur, and continued "At this point we have to do such and so." I"m afraid I replied rather indignantly that there is nothing at all we have to do until we know how the contingencies turned out. Belatedly it occurred to me that she may have meant "at that point."
To me, at this point means now, and at that point means at some other specific time. Do others share that understanding?
