Ah. Does this mean that you have now done it? (Sorry, I
notice that German-speakers tend to have problems with using
the word "until"
correctly)
No it's not done.
Just to make it right the next time, what would be the correct word
instead
of "until" in this case?
"until now" implies that the status has now changed. If you say
"still" it means that the same status continues. For instance:
"I haven't gotten to it until now" vs "I still haven't gotten to
it" (Although the word "got" is not to be used in standard english -
it's purely conversational, and thus entirely appropriate for email
lists ;) )
Actually, I've always been impressed with your english, and from my
time digging around in the list archives I'd have to say it's
improved a lot over the last 6 years or so. How long have you
studied English? Did you start young?
