BRING forward, PUSH back. I feel like the push is the problem

Don't use words as shibboleths to trap people. Oh those stupid Yanks showed up 4 hours late because they don't know the meaning of the word "push".

As a non native speaker, this is one thing that doesn’t make sense to me at all. Push forward for me is ahead in time (2pm), push back - means go backwards from 12 to 10am.

If anyone ever says ‘it’s been pushed back’ it never means earlier

Pushing it *back* is DEFINITELY 2 pm so forward has to be 10am

I think, ultimately, unless you have a complete understaing of your audience, the goal should be to avoid ambiguity--especially in buisiness.

In what universe does "pushing something back" mean earlier?

It has to be the verb ‘pushed’, not ‘forward’ or ‘backward’

push = in front = in the future = later. why you make it sound complicated?

What on earth??? Brought forward (nearer) and pushed back (further).

It’s confusing because you’re asking two different things. Push back (2pm) or bring forward (10am)

Push is forward - pull is back. In my mind.

When talking about time, the phrase push forward makes no sense

I’m moving toward the meeting, and the meeting is moving toward me. Forward relative to me is the future, but forward from the meetings perspective is the future perfect.

I agree that if we use push, it’s moving forward, while pull is backward. How do you push the car? Backward? So to me, if you push it 2 hours forward, its 2pm.

The German word übernächste doesn’t solve anything. We have the same confusion in German if nächster Montag refers to the upcoming monday or the monday next week (which may or may not be the same)
