| May 21, 2015 at 15:12 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I think the reason is simply that from has far more different meanings, so unless the context makes the specific figurative sense screamingly obvious, we're idiomatically programmed to avoid it. But it's fine in It's been raining continuously from last night right up until half-an-hour ago (where additional text supplies the extra context). Also in We've been friends from childhood, where no additional text is required. | |

in my opinion, from is more about geographic positions, not about time (but i'm not native english)
