Do you find this amgiuous? I do, but perhaps I'm wrong.
The sentence:
Our company will be closed in the afternoon of Thursday 9 and Friday 10.
Can this mean both ?
Our company will be closed in the afternoon on both Thursday and Friday.
Our company will be closed in the afternoon onThursday and all day on Friday.

Yes, I find this sentence ambiguous. It can mean both :)

Good point. At first pass, I read it to mean both afternoons, but I can see how the closure can be read as starting from Thursday and continuing all day Friday.
