HSS  +  359703 Thu, 03 May 07 04:28 PM Hi. "Louise hoped Peter's day had  positively sucked, for hadn't he ruined hers with his offhand comment, and the possibility of his proving itself true, Peter's day sucking, didn't feel so very farfetched, for Louise guessed with the certainty of a champion that Peter wasn't getting laid any more in the moment than she was." Normally "moment" is with "at." How would you say "in the moment"? Why "in" here? Because here the word is used in the sense of duration?

	Marius Hancu  +  359706 Thu, 03 May 07 04:34 PM Are they talking having sex in the context? If not, use "in." Laid in the moment/Settled in the moment/Enjoying-feeling the moment If yes (getting laid/having sex), use "at" (and would've preferred "at the time").
