I'll call you (about vs on) Wednesday night. Which is suitable? SCRIPT Mike: "I've gotta take off. But I'll call you about Wednesday night, okay? QUESTION I've always thought "on" is followed by raging from monday to sunday things. Ex. I wake up on monday But Mike used "about" so I can't get it. Can you explain about this? Thanks!

I will call you on Wednesday night= refers to the night that he will call I will call you about Wednesday night = He will call to discuss what will happen on Wednesday night.

Mike means that he will call you to talk about what you will do on Wednesday night. So he might call you on Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday... but when he calls you, he will talk about what's going on Wednesday night! Hope that makes sense! :D

I'll call you on Wednesday night = this is the time I will call you I'll call you about Wednesday night = this is the reason I'll call you; but I'll call before then (about = regarding) It's also possible to say "I'll call you about Wednesday" to mean "I'll call you sometime during the middle of the week", but I think that in the example, "Wednesday night" is too specific to mean an approximate time. "About Wednesday night" can only mean "regarding Wednesday night".
