(Not worded goofy at all, it's from the WGN site as an announcement of what's
happening on November 29.)
This was written more than 10 days ahead of the event and states " this
saturday", not " on this saturday". That's not goofy ?? Musta been an intern
writing it.

jw, I agree with you. "...this saturday..." is an unclear referent
and could as well refer to the Saturday before the 29th as to the 29th
itself. Therefore, j999w made an honest mistake and his post was an
honest observation which in no way deserved a captious rebuke.

I don't really want to take this any further, but c'mon... It clearly states the 29th and refers
to 'this Saturday night-Sunday morning...' That in reference to the 29th...
Nothing 'captious' about any comment I made at all, the announcement says what it says, clearly I
might add, at least for me, and I stand by my original comments. Others mileage and comprehension
may vary! Oh well...
