What does "by midnight Saturday 26th of May" mean?

[Anonymous]

Does it mean on 25th at midnight ? .. when it turns to 26.

Or.. day 26 at night night ? when it turns to 27 ?

It means until may 25th runs out.

It's basic chronology really.. if [26 00:00] is the LAST possible chance...

you have all of the 25th up until 11:59, where it then turns to [26 00:00]

Just like 2 comes after 1.

It usually means at the end of the day on the 26th, but if this is for a deadline that is important you probably want to double check with people who can tell you specifically

Just before the date goes from the 26th to the 27th.

If the term used was BY midnight than the 26th when turning the 27th bec by means up until that point not past. So on the 26 untill midnight bec than it ain't the 26 no more
