Tell time:

• 12- and 24-hour time (1:30pm; 13:30)
• Specific dates (May 14, 2007; 5/14/07; 5.15)
• Relative dates (today; tomorrow; next Thursday; Thu; next week)
• Relative times (this afternoon; tomorrow morning; next thursday evening)
• Relative date intervals (in 2 days; in 3 weeks; in a month)
• Relative time intervals (in 15 minutes; in an hour; in 4 hours)
• Date ranges (May 14-16; 10/14-10/22)
• Time ranges (1-4pm; 8am-5pm)
• Time zones (4pm Europe/London; 5/1 7am PDT-2pm EDT; noon GMT+10)

(Sandy interprets "monday", "this monday", and "on monday" as the very first Monday coming up and "next monday" as the Monday after that.)

Ignore time sometimes:

remind me to talk to Sue tomorrow about my "December 1st" trip

remember to buy tickets on Friday for local performance of "Next Monday"

remind me to ask "June First" out for Friday night

Make things repeat:

• By day: @daily, @bidaily (every 2 days), @weekends (Sat and Sun), @weekdays (Mon through Fri)
• By week: @weekly, @biweekly (every 2 weeks)
• By month: @monthly, @bimonthly (every 2 months), @quarterly (every 3 months)
• By year: @yearly, @birthday, @anniversary, and @biyearly (every 2 years).

Ask Sandy to reply — or not (overrides your default email reply settings):

• Remember to replace the back-porch lightbulb @reply
• remember Pride and Prejudice @noreply

Set a goal:

Remember Anywhere is walking distance if you have the time @goal

(Your latest goal appears in both the web and email versions of your Daily Digest.)
