   Is 'after 5 days' a bad word?

   • The problem with (1) is that "After 5 days" would typically be followed by a reference to something that lasted for 5 days. For example "After 5 days of virtually non-stop heavy rain, we were able to enjoy some sunshine." Version (3) is bad, at least in BE, though I gather that in AE people sometimes use "after" to mean "afterwards".

   Is there a general word for the day after tomorrow?

   • But there's no general word; instead there's a fixed phrase, which you used: the day after tomorrow. Germanic languages can use the word for morning to refer to the next daybreak. In German Morgen still means both morning and tomorrow; in English morrow, a variant of morning, came to be used in the latter sense.

   Are there other words used to label periods of time?

   • Words exist to label periods of time - like week which represents 7 days and fortnight which is used for a 14-day period. Are there other such words used for certain numbers of consecutive days? There is a companion website, ELL, on which to ask basic questions. I'd remove the 'fortnight used for 15 days' before you get downvoted.

   What does 8 days a day mean?

   • So what it literally means is that you will be there before five minutes (or eight days) has expired. However, idiomatically it means I will be there in approximately five minutes or approximately eight days. Note that for longer periods (like eight days) approximately does not mean ten days. It means now plus eight days, give or take a half a day.

   Feb 7, 2008 · Regarding the apostrophe after notice, think how you’d refer to a notice period that’s one day long: you’d say one day’s notice, with an apostrophe, not one day notice. So when you refer to a notice period that’s several days long, you say days’, with the apostrophe.
