Until you tell me the context, I'll have to wait 'til half past three to go and till the garden. Or else I'll steal from the till.

See, now I'd already decided to not get this cocky. Glad someone else did it for me!

I *almost* went there, then blithely went forward on the assumption of proper use of "until."
Now my brain can't hear the word until as a real word anymore. More like aunt hill. I know. I'm weird.

I like words with apostrophes.

I don't like anything concerning gardening or tin cans.

I chose until, but much depends on context. If a character is speaking the word, which would they use based on their particular speech patterns and dialect?

I like ’til, but there’s always the risk some illiterate knuckle-dragger who depends on Redmond for spelling and punctuation advice will typeset it as ‘til, causing me to fly into an apoplectic rage and start World War III.
