Actually let me leave this with a "legal" example using common 
definitions:

Contract:  The City of Buffalo hereby agrees that, provided G. gives
24 hours or more notice of eir arrival, e shall be met with a brass
band.

G. message to Buffalo:  I intend to arrive seven days from now, by 
train.

G. (25 hours later):  I've just arrived on a bus and there's no band;
Buffalo is in breach of contract.

Judge:  G., by specifying a misleading time and method of arrival, 
did not in fact give the required notice.  The contract clearly does 
not require Buffalo to monitor all ports of entry 24/7 to guard 
against the possibility that a misleading notice was received.

-G.
