| Feb 9, 2017 at 16:38 | comment | added | John Lawler | "Let me know from now"? What does that mean? For the first clause, if you don't come is normal; normal doesn't have to make sense. However, if you won't come is not normal and doesn't mean the same; it means "if you're not willing to come by 12", because that's what will means in in if clause | |
