- Logical meaning of within 30 days compared to in 30 or fewer days . . .
I would read the first as referring to a deadline, the second referring to a total accumulation of days spent For example, "This project must be finished within 30 days" is different than "This project must be finished in 30 days or fewer " - The first establishes a "date" the second just establishes a duration or level of effort

- these days - what is the correct usage meaning?
The spell check immediately underlined the word 'days' and claimed it needed an apostrophe after the 's', creating days' I always assumed the term 'these days' referred to 'recent times' or what is commonplace at present It seems the spell check takes it as the 'families and friends' that belong to the days being discussed Which is correct?
