'til looks much more becoming ^_^

I used wonder about it... geek that I am. I do believe I write 'till' more than the other, because I think it looks better. But, then again, 'til is probably more correct.
WHY DON'T WE SCRAP 'TIL/TILL, STOP BEING LAZY BUGGERS, AND JUST WRITE 'UNTIL'??

'Cause in first person we need to have a specific voice, as we do with dialogue?

I like 'til (with or without the apostrophe) better, because when I see till my first thought, even when it's in the context of until, is to till the land or something, like niteowl said. (*grew up in a rural area*) Merriam-Webster says using till for until is cheifly Scottish and I'm ... not.

... When I first saw this subject in the "View Topics Since Last Visit" list, I actually thought it had something to do with Suz. xD

That having been said, I vote for 'til. Otherwise I think of Suz. Obviously.

If it makes you feel better, when I first saw it, I thought someone was talking about me, too! *should vote*

'til

It's cooler with the apostrophe.

I voted Till. It's easier to type. Plus, I'm the one who started the whole argument by using till.

But if it was on there, I would've voted until.

This is my final answer: I will write till, which I believe is correct, and is easier to write, but I won't care what other people write. Firestarter had a good post though. I agree with him. (This last paragraph was edited after he posted.)

'Til... easy answer, unlike the analogy.

Till.

I prefer till.

By the way, till is not short for until. 'til, on the other hand, is a lazy contraction of until and looks messy. I'm not a fan of loose apostrophes. Till is in fact an interchangeable variant of until.

To be honest though, until beats them both.

'til. All the way. haha

Isn't till a completely different word? Like, as in, "To till the earth"? haha

Haha ... I remember in primary school when I would write "till" and teachers and such would get annoyed with me and tell me I had to write "until" because "till" didn't exist. I was very confused because I was pretty sure it DID exist. BUT WHO'S LAUGHING NOW? That's right. Me.

So ... go till!

If you ask me, til beats 'til, Till and until. Why? It's fun, easy to type, and without an apostrophe! But to be serious, I just like being a non-conformist.

I chose "Till"! The other one isn't even a real word. Well, at least the dictionary says it's not. ......THE DICTIONARY HAS SPOKEN!!
