      At first I thought it had to do with cash registers. People using “till” in place of “‘til” or “until” drives me crazy.

      (Also, using “a” like in “two times a year” creeps me out too. Sure, I say “a year” but in writing it looks sloppy.)

        “till” and “til” are both absolutely fine to use as an abbreviation for “until”

        In fact the double-L spelling has been around longer

          Because right now in 2024 we have the word “until” (one L) so using the word till as an abbreviation looks dumb as shit.
