Is there a difference between these two words?
QUESTION
Is there any difference between “dateline” and “deadline”? Are these words interchangeable?
ANSWER
“Dateline” refers to a line in a newspaper article that gives the date and the place of origin.
“Deadline“, however, refers to the date or time a task needs to be completed.
Given the different meanings, we should not use these words interchangeably.
