While / Until
-
Sometimes I speak in Hungarian but my Magyar is a lot worse than her English. That said, I'm not the one who gets paid extra because she speaks three languages; plus another two she can get by with.
Perfect situation. You speak Hungarian - she fixes it, she speaks English, you fix it... :laugh:

No. No, I don't think so.
Wise decision! :laugh:

No. No, I don't think so.
Than how you will talk to local after retirement? Or you won't planing on that?

I think [or I hope] that we all know the difference between while and until, both in English and Programese. Well Mrs Wife, after too many years married to me, still gets them the wrong way round. Mostly she just says while and never uses until. As an example, last night she said "I'm going to read while I go to bed" :confused: I don't know if it's just become so ingrained that it is stuck there or if there's something I can do, short of ECT, to stop her as until she keeps doing it I am getting really annoyed.
The fact that you understand what she means should be satisfactory, most guys never understand what the wife is talking about (or not, as the case may be). Consider yourself ahead of the game. :) There are a few phrases that my wife still uses in spite of my corrections, I’ve learned that the icy glare and cold dinners are not worth the effort to correct her… um, grammatical quirks.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well, Google claims that both "while" and "until" translate to "míg" in Hungarian, so I suppose a little confusion is understandable.

My general everyday Magyar is enough, I survived 6 weeks last summer unaided by Her Wifeness.

Not quite. Mig is while, but closer to until is the postposition -ig So "Until bedtime" is "lefekvésig", where lefekvés is bedtime.

It doesn't matter which word she uses; you are still wrong.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Well, you forgot a piece of code, but I doubt that it's gonna make any difference in this case:
foreach (MistakeOf wife in Conversation)
{
if (pigs.Fly() || dailyWeatherStatusInHell == Cold)
{
yourFault = false;
wife.ApologizeAndBringConsolationBeer();
break;
}yourFault = true; }LOL - this is actually more fun than coding for real... :laugh:

Unless she's reading while she walks to the bed, in which case that's totally correct.

Forget the while/until issue - she's still using GOTO!!!!!!
