This,, what you said "All the tags on the door jambs were held on by screws from the factory until* 1958."
until* meaning that in 1959 they no longer had screws, thats what I was correcting, as not a 100% true statement.
PREPOSITION:
Up to the time of: We danced "UNTIL" dawn.
Before (a specified time): She can't
leave "UNTIL" Friday.
CONJUNCTION:
Up to the time that: We walked "UNTIL" it got dark.
Before: You cannot leave "UNTIL" your work is finished.
To the point or extent that: I talked "UNTIL" I was hoarse.
One last example I am only going to buy Power-Wagons "UNTIL" I own 30 of them, meaning that when I get 30 that I am done buying and looking for trucks. So I will NOT have 31 Power-Wagons.
Get my point.
