While / Until
-
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.

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!!!!!!
