meaning of "point" #1 (permalink) Sat Aug 18, 2007 15:40 pm   meaning of "point"
 

some point in the far-off future

I have got this sentence from a dictionary and I wonder what the word "point" means in this sentence.

Please help me.

Without any further context to help me, I'd say the word point refers to a point in time.

What was the whole sentence?

Thank you Yankee.
In the dictionary, only that much is given. No more context.
