While I am certainly no fan of the tactics of many in the credit card industry, sometimes I’m not so sure we don’t get precisely what we deserve. For instance, in public comments to regulators on their credit card gripes, we see one commenter lamenting, apparently, the reality of time passing:
I agree that 30 days late is late — one day is not late!
Has our education system gotten so poor that we cannot even grasp simple words like late anymore?
late: Coming, occurring, or remaining after the correct, usual, or expected time; delayed
