What is
mean by time: ‘at’ with a specific point in time = “I will
arrive at 4:30″ Confusingly it’s ‘on’ with a day = “I will
arrive on Thursday” For places: ‘in’ with general areas, countries, cities etc.
= “I will arrive in Italy”, “I will arrive in Rome”
‘at’ with specific places = “I will arrive at the house”, “I will arrive at the airport”
You can use also use ‘in’ with a specific place if you mean specifically inside.
If I can meet you in a shop and say “I’ll meet you inside” then “I will meet you outside – but I will meetyou in the shop”.

I don’t know about the constitutional but in writing patents you are constantly writing “a plurality of….” to make it clear you mean more than one.
If the goal is to leave no possible argument for a lawyer to claim that states meant a single
state then the law does not rule that that is true.

Fringe is the decorative edging on something (like curtains) – hence something slightly fun and frivolous on the edge of the meeting is fringe.
Edinburgh Fringe is an underground fun thing along with the larger, official and more staid Royal Edinburgh Tattoo – the fringe is now the bigger media event!
