>Why is 'until' ambiguous. If we were talking time and I said 'until three o'clock' you surely wouldn't think I meant until four o'clock. What's different with dates - does anyone interpret 'until 2007' as meaning 'until the end of 2007'?

If someone says "from Monday until Friday," is Friday included? Similarly, if they say "from the 12th until the 15th," is the 15th included?
I lean toward yes, in both cases, but I know that it could mean that it ends upon the arrival of that day/date.
