What does soon mean?

Yes, you need to pause a moment. Your going to explode. 😁 I'm exploding with you. WoodPlane, I love the public garden gaff. That one is historical (or do I mean hysterical or histerical?) Gail, all I can say is, "grandma be tasty."

It means, "soon," of course. 🙂

Here's the sign:

Draw your own conclusion. Is it "soon" or "later?" Or should this be, "Bach, soon. Offenbach, later."

It means "soon as it's back up."

I think he knows to wait, but he wants to know how long! 😀 I'd say, "As long as it takes."

"sometime soon", "sooner or later", "as soon as possible".....what does "soon" ever mean?

But I'm not telling a lie if I say that Apple's concept of soon varies, being difficult the meaning of this word 😁. Your definition is perfect

Well, one thing is certain. Apple said the site would be down for an "extended period," and they weren't lying about that at all.

You realize you are addressing someone, who despite their 30+ years in the technical software business business, was an English major in college (graduated and everything!)...😁😁😁

We seem to have a contradiction in terms, then....I don't see anything in the definition that indicates "soon" ever means "an extended period"..... it's a paradox!!! OMG!

It's possible that Apple is using "soon" in the cosmological sense.

In that context, the Earth will soon be consumed by the Sun when it becomes a red giant in about 4-5 billion years.

Yeah, that's it.

So, the Earth will be consumed very soon, or fairly soon? (or soon-ish...?)

Good one, steve! In fact, so good, I'm at a loss for a snappy riposte! OMG! 😝😝

Whatever.

I've made an entry in iCal to remind me the day before.

Er, Calendar.
