@KeyBrdBasher: but "decoy" isn't quite the same as "attraction"; it has more specific meaning

comment “Before date” versus “by date”
@FumbleFingers: it says that in the very first sentence, unless I'm missing something. Regarding the question you link to, again, it doesn't mention "before date" at all, which is exactly the point of this question.

comment “Before date” versus “by date”
(The reason I'm asking is that I've been told that "before date" is incorrect and one should say "by date".)

comment “Before date” versus “by date”
I object to this question being a duplicate. The linked question addresses the meaning of "by Monday". My question is whether it is correct to say "before Monday" at all, and the meaning of it.

comment Origin of “no such thing” idiomatic phrase
Another interesting phrase is "to be a thing", like in "since when is it a thing" or "it's not even a thing!"

comment How to say that something is (not) random
Thanks, but instead of just a one-word antonym, I'd like to use some kind of a phrase or an idiom (similar to what I wrote in the question) to make the text more pleasant to read.

Thank you. My actual object is not pay, but it's the best example I could come up with that is easy to understand.
