"until" is a continuous action that includes the time specified. It doesn't mean you stopped working at 7:59.

This is the textbook meaning of "until." If you specific an exact INSTANT (like "until now") it means at that instant is when the change occurs, so if I say "until summer" it means at some point during summer the plan will be complete, or change, but not before summer.

If you say, "Hey, Shai, you're really uptight. Let's just get a beer and forget about it."
and I say, "Dood, I'm going to be doing this sh-t until Saturday."

Do you think I stopped Friday?
or do you think "Well I can ask him again on Saturday, when he is stopping, but he may not have stopped yet."



Being wrong does not make one a troll.
(and I'm not wrong).
you're right i stop at eactly 8:00 not 8:01 or after. using your same example when it gets to 8 i stop. you are in spring which is 7:59. the first day of summer is 8:00.
