Grammar
I will be available ON or FOR [Date]
Hello…
I am confused between "I will be available on 1/1/2001" and "I will be available for 1/1/2001". I think both of them mean I will be available only for that certain date which in this case is 1/1/2001. What if I want to say I will be available since certain date? Can I say "I will be available 2 weeks from now" and "I will be available 2 weeks from accepting date"?
Thanks...
Kate

Correct me if wrong. > "I will be available on 1/1/2001" and "I will be available for 1/1/2001" I don't think the second one is correct. I would say I will be available for help, comment etc.

I don't think the second one is correct.
I would say I will be available for help, comment etc. (= for something you can do/offer etc.), but not you can offer a date which m#does not make any sense to me.

I will be available on 1/1/2001. OK.
I will be available for 1/1/2001. Not the best possible way of saying it. It seems like a contraction of
I will be available for you on 1/1/2001.
When should we make the appointment?
Let's make it for 1/1/2001. (You make an appointment for [date]) (More common.)

>I will be available two weeks from now. OK.
I would like to emphasise that point.
I was told by a native speaker that it is not a good/natural way to say like that. If strictly speaking, it is incorrect to say in that way.
Instead we should say:
- I will be available (with)in two weeks.
Using "from now" is simliar to the following:
-You say "I will go
