    I said they meant the same thing “as you grow old” two comments up. Bluemorpho is the one being a dick about until being literal. You just can’t fucking read, jackass

      i know what you said, dickwad. here’s what you said:

      Maybe if it was “until you die”, but I read it as getting old being the change, not the relationship changing

      you’re wrong. if it was “until you die” it would have been semantically correct and the commenter wouldn’t even comment on it. the change that “until” denotes isn’t getting old. that’s not how the word until works.

      “x until y” means once y happens, x stops. it doesn’t mean y is the change and x stays, which what you’re suggesting when you say getting old is the change. wrong. semantically the tweet is just wrong. my comment was a clarification on that part.

      that being said i also agreed that’s clearly what they meant and we shouldn’t be overly pedantic about semantics unless you’re a writer. these are different points and i would’ve left it alone but you decided to be overly cunty so here I am explaining everything again because clearly you’re the one who’s having trouble processing the written word.

        You are dumb and also dumb. You are literally agreeing with my first comment, and the only reason I brought up “until you die” is cause I was showing bluemorpho what would be semantically correct. If I say “I was awake until dawn” what does that mean?? Dawn is the change, not my state of awakeness.

          it means you slept after dawn. so yes, your state of awakeness changes. and if you meant to show what would be correct you did it wrong. “maybe if it was until you die” implies that the comment you responded to would be correct if it was until you die.
