I would explain the difference this way. Today, you had a doctor�s appointment. He told you to visit him again 1) in a day. 2) every other day. The first ending means you have to visit your doctor once, within a day�s time (most likely, tomorrow). The second - you have to do it regularly, every second day - day1 (today), day3, day5, and so on, skipping every second day.

Dear ladzoya, I �m glad that you think that kohai �s answer is interesting. As a UK native English speaker, I would say that her answer is excellent. Thank you, kohai. Les Douglas |
