CalifJim,



Thanks. It is interesting. Few months back, I had posted a question about sentence #1 below; I suggested that #2 sounds better. But I was told that #1 is more appropriate.



1. You should get the circular the same time as everyone else.



2. You should get the circular the same time when everyone else gets.

You should get the circular when everyone else gets it.
