    I think I have a catch phrase in which the phrase “our today’s meeting” would be uttered by a speaker of English at least in informal conversation.

    Alice and Bob are in an office in New York, USA, talking on the phone to Colleen, who lives in Perth, Australia. Alice and Bob owe the money to Colleen and Bob, she says he’s really impressed with Colleen. Alice, Bob and Colleen are members of a team working together for a project they have a status meeting (via teleconference) every weekday at 7 am, New York time. To participate in this, they must obtain a separate card (including his name) and a copy (please don’t able to leave the card or provide an email). Is this from the regular status meeting?

    Alice: “Doris made a good point in today’s status meeting. According to Alice Cox she is refering to the meeting that occurred at 7 am on Tuesday, New York time, which (for Bob and Alice) is the same day as this conversation. What

    is your mean by Colleen’s response and why?” This meeting hasn’t even happened yet. referring to the meeting that will occur at 7 pm on Wednesday, Perth time, which (for Colleen) is the same day as this conversation. What

    is what we meant by tomorrow’s meeting?

    I would hope this phrase would not show up in the team’s final report, however. I mean it’s awkward in

    print.
