Grammar Point: Before I die!

Just a quick grammar point. In your presentations and one your blogs, some people have written sentences like this:

" I want to visit Disneyland until I die."

X...until I die O before I die

"Before I die" means you will do that thing at least one time BEFORE you die. "Until I die" means you will continue to do that thing until you die.

Therefore:

"I want to visit Disneyland until I die"="I want to stay at Disneyland from now UNTIL I die!"
