Thats not what that means lol his wording was completely fine, its on you to think critically bc theres multiple correct ways to say different things in english. Obviously if its scheduled for tomorrow and hes asking to reschedule then common sense says he knows what the original plan was and needs to change it no matter what transitionary phrasing he used between 'reschedule' and 'tomorrow'

Tmrw means tomorrow is crazy. If you planned something for tomorrow (Thursday) i would think he would want to reschedule for a different day than tomorrow (like Friday or something) 😭😭 this is so confusing

I should’ve mentioned before that he also has mixed up dates many time before. He once showed up to a party on the wrong date, when I sent everyone the same invitation. Lol

If this was a spoken conversation that wording wouldnt have confused you at all and you wouldve understood he was asking to move it, you just overthought it because there was no auditory sentence emphasis bc its a text (Im a psych linguistics double pls pardon the blab sesh I love silly arguments like this)

How do you know that wouldn’t have confused me in person? I would’ve questioned him the same way if it was an in person convo.

It was a generalization because with speech emphasis your brain would negate the 'for' and just interpret 'reschedule tomorrow' brains compress speech so you wouldnt have bc your brain would not internalize that word in your perception of the question and thats the only word that made you think it was a diff meaning
