comment Is there a word for “a point in time”?
@Codemonkey You could call it creation_timestamp if you are concerned. Reg is right, this is the most common term.

comment Can you kindly elaborate on which option can be correct and why?
Unless you can provide a broader context, including which you think is the correct choice and why, and what confuses you about this construction, I'm afraid this question is really too localized. (You can edit it to include this information, and it may be re-opened.)

comment When I write any sentence in English every native reader can tell I am Europen, how?
I think this question needs some editing to fit some of the answers that have been given it. It is a bit loosey-goosey as it is phrased, but I think it could be topical if it were made more specific to the identifying the elements that make writing identifiably dialectical, and more general in terms of not just your writing, and less opinion-soliciting.
