I can't say I've noticed it but, here in Yorkshire we do the oppose. We use while instead of until.
For example, I'll wait with you while the bus comes.

If you wish to make a tomatoes sauce from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Are we increasing the wealth of the people or simply that of the factory owners who now don't have to employ as many widget makers?
The latter is harder to argue for ethically.

Why are so many so keen to take agency away from Sharon?
She disagreed with the decision, but instead of saying anything, decided to act like a petulant child.
It looked really intimidating for Sharon for that decision to be made, by three older men, without any input from her. She didn't feel there was any point in speaking up against them and it needs calling out, no wonder she looked like she'd given up #CelebrityTraitors

Not having plug sockets in the bathroom has nothing to do with safety. It's actually a clever plot by men to stop women taking hours in the bathroom doing their hair.
some of us have electric toothbrushes, electric water flossers, hair dryers, curling irons, flat irons, clippers, scented plug ins, etc. A socket in the bathroom is a must for me!

In my experience, they don't necessarily miss how they used to write code (or at least they accept this is changed forever).
What they miss about the "old days" is knowing that they had a future. That they'd still have a job and be able to pay the mortgage in a year's time.

Every large company I've worked with would have been more effective with half the staff.
The trick is knowing which half.

Leaving aside the nurse not knowing the word, just answer the damn question.
How much alcohol do you drink? None.

Complicated by the fact that not everyone pronounces words the same.
