I posted the original message in Chrome.
This one is posted in Metro IE.
My philosophy is my favourite web browser is whichever one is there or opens first.

Windows recovery was the best thing they ever added.
Unfortunately, it doesn't go back as far as DOS.

My boss just emailed me about a report I wrote a few weeks ago that has a problem.
It's a report on open logs in our Support system.
His words exactly, "It must be number of logs opened on that day, currently selections is of logs OPENED for that day"
What would the difference between ON and FOR be ?
|
|
|
|
|
If I am a dev I can open a support ticket on Monday, even though it was submitted on Friday of the previous week. That is a ticket FOR Friday that I opened ON Monday.
Perhaps it's that type of subtle difference ?

Okay that makes sense, but our system only save the date on which it was opened(sysdate).

You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

In that case there is never any confusion, it's always ON
But it's more like: the kid is on the table, do something
the TV is on, sshhhhhh
why is the PC always on ...

If you use FOR that day, you will being that only that day, if you're saying ON that day you're saying it will available on that day and maybe sometime later you can get it again.

That actually taught me a little bit better grammar, thanx
But I still don't see how there could be any difference between the two in this case of the open log dates
|
|
|
|

I would understand the two different meanings to be;
1) The logs which were created/opened on that date. i.e. they were raised on that day.
2) The other would be logs that were open or opened on that day and still not closed. i.e. if logs raised on monday were still not closed and it is now tuesday, include those.
If your report records both an open date and a close date, you could determine which ones were open for that given date.

I agree with Dave here; opened ON a given day were items created on that given day (e.g. How many reports were created and marked Open ON Tuesday).
Opened FOR a given day could be a day in the future or the past (e.g. How may reports were created FOR Tuesday).
The again, the original message could contain a typo, or an unclear meaning. Good luck!

two separate meanings. opened on is literal and opened for could be implied or past or future reference. I opened the report for the day 8/1/2014 on this current day of 8/15/2014
