till? until? til?

I never knew this: I always wondered why till was spelled with 2 "lls" I always thought it was an abbreviation of until....

"Till and until are both old in the language and are interchangeable as both prepositions and conjunctions... Till is not a shortened form of until and is not spelled 'till. 'Til is usually considered a spelling error, though widely used in advertising: Open 'til ten."


just thought I'd share.
