{'op ret} without a unit of time is like saying "some ago" in English.
Couldn't {'op ret} mean "some time ago" too ? Why limit it only to "some ago" ? Don't misunderstand me; I'm not trying to argue. I'm just trying to understand ! qunnoH On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 11:36 AM, De'vID <de.vid.jonpin@gmail.com> wrote:

Do you understand the sentence you quoted? Do you know what "time period" means
What I do understand, is that numerous times on this list the {'op ret} has been used without anyone objecting.
I think this may be just an issue of something that is slightly odd, but is just understandable enough that most people feel it's not worth pointing out. {'op ret} without a unit of time is like saying "some ago" in English. Really, if you mean "one day in the past", it ought to be {'op Hu'}.
