Double drop ending with sept 24th? [MERGED]
So is this correct? Why does double drop say it ends in 9 hours when the announcement says it runs till the 25th. The first minute of the 25th only? This could suck balls. . .

22nd to 25th still should _include_ the 25th, I would think, given that it included the 22nd but not the 21st...
You'd be wrong. "to" means "until". If it included 9/25, the word would have been "through".
You are incorrect. In English, going "to" something always includes the end target. If you go to the grocery store, that doesn't mean you stop in the street outside the parking lot. If you rate a mobile game in the app store on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, that doesn't mean the highest possible rating is 4 stars. If you go to a music festival that runs September 22-25, it's a four day festival. Always.
The language was not in any way ambiguous. It was simply incorrect.
In game timer.
Are you a boy? Cause you are obviously a CG fan.
You tell people off for "changing lane" and do it yourself, starting by saying that "to" was the end all be all of the argument and now shifting to "Read the small print".
"To" or "-" mean that it includes the day that are typed. That's how companies in the US do it, that's how the world do it and so that's how people assumed CG did it.
Did most people read the "small print"(timer), of course not, for the same reason that when I order at restaurant I look at the picture and expect to get what's on the pic and will get mad if something is missing, even if the food item wasn't in the description.
