\\u201cHi, are we meeting at 5:00 p.m. to go to the movies? \\u201c
\\u201cYes, of course! No problem. \\u201c
\\u201cI\\u2019ll see you then at 5 pm, sharp! Just be punctual this time! The movie starts on time.\\u201d
This would be a typical conversation between two friends. Unfortunately, for some people, punctuality is something, let\'s say, flexible. I particularly like to be very punctual, and if I meet a friend, I always arrive a few minutes early.
