Have you heard of this word “PREPONE” ?

If so, you must be an Indian :) . When my hubby used this word to a English man, he was surprised by this new strange word.

The word 'prepone' is found in The New Oxford Dictionary of English, published 1998. It is listed as being Indian (from India) and is defined as: to bring forward to an earlier date or time. Example given: The publication date has been preponed from July to June.
