They have 12 days left until their latest self imposed deadline.
one example of dozens.
Yeah and self imposed means just that.
This has always been about watching Josh miss his latest estimate.
You can call it whatever you like.
A Synonym for Deadline is "Target date" and Josh has used that term as well.
You want to get into semantics on the english language?
Josh has missed every:
Estimate
Target date
Dead line
Time limit
Calculation
Approximation
Guess
he has made for delivery of goods to his customers.
So pick the word which you would like us to use to describe his action when he, off the cuff throws a date out there and says "we will probably do XYZ by ABC" and we will see if you can use it.
Frankly I like the term WILD ASS GUESS because it describes his darts and calendar approach.
You know I would let his ass off the hook if just once he came out and said "Hey I got that wrong we aren't going to make that date"
But that will never happen.
