In addition, this ban on absolute quantities will also apply to time. From now on, a particular time will only be specified as "early" or "late", and dates will be expressed as "today", "yesterday", or "tomorrow". There is no way to express a date before "yesterday" or after "tomorrow", as citizens should not allowed to think about the past or the future. Every sundial in the nation is being replaced to remove the numbered time markings; citizens do not have clocks as those are already banned.
This ban, proposed by the director of the Happy Patrol, has received wide support from the Party. It is said to improve public order and national security. As always, Party members, as the brains of the nation, and tourists, as the primary revenue, will be exempt from the ban on numbers and math.
