Grammar
Yet
The exchange was in sharp contrast to previous debates because of the absence of political sniping, yet was one of the most substantive policy discussions yet in the race for the nomination.
The first yet means 'more' or 'futhermore' and the second yet is 'until now', right?
Thanks

Hi LiJ,
I agree on the second one, but I make the first one to mean, "however," which has the opposite sense from "furthermore" or "moreover." (I don't see "more" used as a conjunction.)
In other words, the debate was really toned down from previous ones, so you'd think it would perhaps be boring. But to the contrary, it was very stimulating.
This is the old "compare
