NO, PERO WHY?

The deadline lost its last sentence.

Quick cases



A screenshot says registration closes tonight. The original says tonight is the deadline only for people requesting travel support. A friend is about to give up on attending.



LUPA ASKS

Who is the deadline for, and which part of the screenshot tells us that?



TRY ONE RESPONSE

Forward the screenshot with “better safe than sorry.”

That repeats a deadline that does not apply to everyone. Your caution could exclude someone.



TRY ANOTHER RESPONSE

Link the original and name which deadline applies to which group.

Now the friend can act on the right condition. Keep the travel-support deadline visible too.



MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL

Write the two deadlines in two plain sentences.



TELL A FRIEND

That deadline is for travel support. Let’s keep it visible without telling other people they cannot register.

Say it your way. Keep the supported meaning and the part you still need to check.
