Re: As of the 8th of July

> Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Thanks. > Marius Hancu Small consideration. But I'm having difficulty in explaining it;
"Coming" suggests a continued connection.
As of and from July 8th that relationship will have ended, so should that termination be recognised?
As in : As of and from July 8th I will no longer be going to the club. Note; "going", not "coming"
The reason I chose "As of and from..." is because "... wont be coming to the club from the 8th of July on (onwards?) could mean after the 8th, or after a point in time during the 8th.

Hello:
Your preferences please.
1. I won't be coming to the club as of the 8th of July. 2. I won't be coming to the club from the 8th of July. 3. I won't be coming to the club from the 8th of July on. 4. I won't be coming to the club starting on the 8th of July. 5. I won't be coming to the club as of the 8th of July anymore. 6. I won't be coming to the club after the 7th of July anymore. 7. I won't be coming to the club after and including the 8th of July anymore. 8. As of 8th of July, I'll stop coming to the club (anymore).
They are all supposed to mean: I'll stop coming to the club on the 8th of July.
Am especially curious about 1. Does "as" with no additives (as in 5), work for something expected to continue?
Thanks. Marius Hancu
