this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think "across time" is a common enough phrase.

Really? It sounds weird to me, although that could just be the way that ANY word will sound weird if you say it enough (tartlet).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've started the massive project of going through 20-odd chapters that constitute the "bible" for the association I work for. I'm finding that (1) the damn things weren't given more than a cursory proofreading before being laid out and (2) the person who did them changed style/usage throughout documents, even on the same page. oy

Semantic satiation sounds like it should be dirty.

"across time" sounds like it should be used in a time-traveling story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The word has lost all meaning!

"Over time" is definitely more common, but [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What about "rates increased between X DATE and Y DATE" or is that taking too much license with the original text?

Rates increased as time continued its inexorable march into the future.
