    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.

      Maybe she intends to read as she goes upstairs and puts her Winceyette PJ's on and then stop reading.

        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:

          You may talk to her in Hungarian? A good practice for you, less mistakes for her...

            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.

                      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.

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

                                      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.

                                      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:
