Is there a subtle difference in meaning between "1" and "2"?
If so, I would like to know the difference.
1. I didn't go to bed last night until 2 a.m.
2. I didn't get to bed last night until 2 a.m.
go/get
Re: go/get
I would use "get to bed" if some circumstance prevented doing so any sooner. I would use "go to bed" if it was by choice.
