> "then" is not the opposite of "now" "Now" means at the present time. "Then" means at any other time other than now. They are opposite.
The phrase "now and then" has no bearing on the denotation of the words. "Then" is the antonym of "now". If you disagree, what do you think is the opposite of "now"? It certainly isn't "after" because "after" is the opposite of "before". Feel free to engage me further in this logomachy off-list. :) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
