How do we add a pole for 10am and 2pm ?
Moving things forwards I kicked the ballTo me the prefix "for"/"fore" implies nearness or advancedness. For example it means "at the front" in the contexts of foreground, forword, foredeck and "in advance" in the contexts of forecast, before, foreshadow. As such if "forward" means "towards the for" I'd suggest that means "towards the front" or "more in advance", so the meeting would be earlier at 10am.
I don't think "move" or "bring" would make much of a difference to the meaning.
Can we think of any examples where "for"/"fore" means "further away", "later", or "afterwards"? It seems to negate in some contexts, such as forbid, forgo, and forget, but that doesn't help us much.
Really?No, he's not wrong. If you think of a point in time as being on a line approaching you, then to move that point forward will mean that you meet it sooner, and if you move it back you will meet it later. Also, we never lose or gain an hour with clock changes, all we are doing is altering our reference points from which we reckon whereabouts we are on an arbitary scale of our own devising.
If you think of a timeline from Christ -30thcentury if we wanted to go to the 30th century I would say we need to go forwards to that point in time ?No, he's not wrong.
