OK, language weirdness question.
Someone recently said:
"I just about caught the train."
Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).
As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.
Thank you!

@ColinTheMathmo To me (from England) it is clear that the man caught the train. However, I would be more likely to express it as "just managed to catch the train".
