Neither do I... Maybe I was attempting to touch type.

up to May/ up until May/ out to May

Explain any differences in meaning is what I was getting at

If you mean to do something or perform some procedure (refer to X), then "up to/until May" would be the same, as far as I can tell.

I'm not familiar with "out to May."
Maybe "keep doing it on out to May." It's pretty casual. (. . . . on out to the end.)

I'd probably use "up through May," to indicate that the prices would be in effect through the end

Hi mate,

Interesting, I can't picture myself using 'up through' here. Then again, I don't see it as wrong, just different, perhaps more accruate; I'm not quite sure.

Hi,

Of course you want to use expressions which are commonly used by the particular community you're trying to reach.

The "through" issue may not be important in what you're trying to express.

You're trying to describe a period of time. Its beginning is not important but it's ending point can be critical - especially in matters of price changes.

What if yo
