Quote:

1. I'd like to postpone my appointment until next Wednesday.
2. I'd like to postpone my appointment to next Wednesday.

Which is correct? If both of them are correct, will the appointment be supposed to take place on next Wednesday?
As I know, 'untill' means 'continue to a certain day'. So I think if 'until' is used as in the quote the appointment can happen on a day from 'the day I said the quote' to 'next Wednes day'
Can you let me know the truth?

Thanks.

. Both are in common use and mean that the appointment is desired for next Wednesday. . _________________ "I really do not know that anything has ever been more exciting than diagramming sentences." � Gertrude Stein ...............
