Agreed, but in that case she should say "I'm going to read while I go to the foot of our stairs"

Well, Google claims that both "while" and "until" translate to "míg" in Hungarian, so I suppose a little confusion is understandable.

Not quite. Mig is while, but closer to until is the postposition -ig So "Until bedtime" is "lefekvésig", where lefekvés is bedtime.

If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

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!!!!!!

Check your credit card statement - it's the one marked "personal services".

You don't know me very well Griff, I NEVER, EVER sign up for ANYTHING (Except if there is free beer involved) - No good has ever come of volunteering for anything... Only a lot of unnecessary work and grief

You signed up for CodeProject - and I certainly didn't get any free beer when I joined!
