Does due by Tuesday mean due before Tuesday or before end of Tuesday?

I always assumed before end of Tuesday, but DH says otherwise.
And does due by 6:00 pm mean that 6:00:00 is the latest time to submit or 6:00:59? I'd never cut it that close, but was wondering. |

end of tuesday, unless a time is specified.
due by 6pm means 6:00:00 |

Thanks! That's interesting. I thought due by 6pm would mean before 6:01 because 6:00:59 is still 6:00 on most clocks. Never tested out the theory. |

| Most websites would make you get it in before 6:00 like 5:59. |

There was a thread recently about a college kid with an assignment due at 11:59 that he turned in between 11:59 and 12:00. It was marked late. |

I would have it in Tuesday morning. |

OP updated that the prof ended up not marking it late |

| So weird, I would totally assume due by Tuesday means by the end of Tuesday. |

due by means it is due before that time. So due by Tuesday to me would be due Monday night at 1159:59
Due by 6pm would be due by 559:59 |

| OP, are deliberately trying to be obtuse? |

| If you are arguing over seconds, it will be late. Get it in hours early to allow for things going wrong. |

This. If it is an electronic submission then it needs to be in by 17:59:59 because at 18:00:00 the link is gone. |
