Until Summer 2011.....

[darkstarpoet1]

naming a time (8:00) is a specific time that only happens at 8:00

summer can be defined as an entire season and is not specific in general
the first day of summer, is by definition summer, as is the last day of summer

so thats a bad analogy to use

i agree it is a bad analogy, but in the same line of thinking isn't 8:00 and no seconds the same time on the time clock as 8:00 and 59 seconds. when they say until it means finished at that time so the time frame mentioned is the first time that event happens.

edit: my only reason for getting into this at all was just because some people have to continually talk down to others when they do have a valid reason why their argument was flawed. the other question is if it was so correct why did a mod specify that it was a mistake and worded improperly?
