					<description><![CDATA[We&#039;re saying the same thing. The &#039;present continuous for the future&#039; in English is used for anything which you would pencil into your diary. 

You can also use &#039;going to + the infinitive&#039; when there is a clear intention. &#039;Will&#039; is only used for things like promises and offers about the future. 

In any case, I am being pedantic as people with a good knowledge of English never need to think about these rules. They are there for the benefit of people for whom English is a foreign language. 

Glenn Bedingfield would do well to pick up a book on these elementary rules before he tries to write.]]></description>
