minus-square@CoggyMcFeelink6•5 months agoSorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is actually “till” and “till” is not short for “until” (and “‘til” is not a word). “Until” actually came from “till”. https://www.etymonline.com/word/till https://www.etymonline.com/word/until I’ve never heard anyone say “tell” to mean “till” so I won’t comment on that.
minus-square@Kiernianlink1•5 months agoNo, that’s GOOD news. Learning is a good thing. Fascinating stuff. Thank you 😊
